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

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the cooked sausage and maple syrup until well combined.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
