Fathers Day Breakfast: Bacon Chedder Pancake Bites and Mimosa's

Fathers Day Breakfast:  Bacon Chedder Pancake Bites and   Mimosa's  

Father’s day is coming and you wanted to give dad a wonderful gift but the economy being what it is that is just not possible this year.

You got him a nice but conservative gift, but you feel he deserves more so what to do.

How about starting out the day for dad with a delicious meal that he will love?

Here is my suggestion:

INGREDIENTS:

Pancake Bites 

1 cup Original Bisquick® mix

½ cup milk

1/4 maple syrup

1 egg

4 bacon slices, crisply cooked, crumbled

¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1 oz)

Toppings

Additional real maple syrup w/bacon bits

Powdered sugar

1 Heat oven to 350°F.

Lightly spray 16 to 18 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

2 in large bowl stir together Bisquick ® mix, milk, maple syrup and egg.

3 Add bacon and cheese; stir just until combined. A few lumps may remain.

4 Pour batter evenly into mini muffin cups, filling nearly to the top of each cup.

5 Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until tops are light golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups to serving plates.

6 While the pancake bite are baking heat the syrup and add some bacon bits to the syrup.

Serve pancake bites warm or at room temperature drizzled with warm maple syrup that has bacon bits in it or sprinkled with powdered sugar

Next we some fruit. What to make, what to make?

Oh I have it!

Let’s make Mimosa’s!

This is easy to make and don’t worry not expensive. If Champagne is not in your budget get an inexpensive bottle of sparkling wine. That can cost as little as two dollars.

Mimosa

Ingredients:

·        Sparkling Wine, or Champagne (1 bottle)

·        Orange Juice (1 carton)

·        Triple Sec (optional)

Instructions:

1 Fill half of a champagne flute with chilled sparkling wine or Champagne (about an ounce)

2 top off with chilled orange juice (again about 2 ounces), gently stir.

3 If you'd like to add triple sec, just a splash to taste works out fine.

4 For added flare slice up a strawberry to decorate the rim of each flute.

Now you’re ready to serve breakfast to dad and the family.

Make sure you cook up the whole pound of bacon so that later you can put away some bacon with left over pancake bites for another day in your freezer.

I believe dad will be happy with this breakfast and you will be happy that you gave dad a special treat on his special day.

All that is left to do then is enjoy and only you will know how easy and affordable this was to make!
