- Whisk
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet

- 1 ½ cups boxed pancake mix plus ingredients on box for batter
- 6 breakfast sausage patties
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 2 –3 tbsp maple syrup plus more for drizzling

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.
- Make pancake batter as directed on the box. Pour into muffin cups (just enough to cover the bottom).
- Bake pancakes for 8–10 minutes or until set and golden. Remove and set aside.
- In another batch or tin, crack one egg into each muffin cup and lightly whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake eggs for 10–12 minutes until just set.
- Meanwhile, cook sausage patties in a skillet and slice or shape them to fit muffin size.
- Assemble each bite: Start with a pancake base, top with baked egg, sausage, shredded cheese, and a small drizzle of maple syrup. Add another pancake on top like a sandwich.
- Optional: Return assembled bites to a warm oven for 2–3 minutes to help melt the cheese.
