Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
How to Make Savory Breakfast Pancake Stack
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the cooked sausage and maple syrup until well combined.
- In the same skillet, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
- To assemble, spread a layer of the sausage and cream cheese mixture on top of one pancake, then stack another pancake on top. Repeat this process until you have a tall stack.
- Top the stack with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your skillet is properly preheated before adding the batter to achieve a golden crust.
- Don’t overmix the pancake batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to the filling.
Easy Variations
- Swap the ground sausage for cooked bacon or diced ham for a different flavor.
- Add herbs like chives or parsley to the cream cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Experiment with different berries or even add banana slices for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- A side of crispy bacon or turkey sausage.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- A dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice or a smoothie for a complete brunch experience.
