Ingredients

For the eggs:

6 eggs

1 cup milk

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons butter

For the pancakes:

1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

⅔ cup milk

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 egg

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup

Pinch of salt

For the breakfast patties:

1-pound ground breakfast sausage

Optional sandwich items:

8 slices cooked bacon

4 slices cheese (American or cheddar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the chopped apple and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly distribute half of the apple mixture over the batter. Gently swirl the batter with a knife or skewer. Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining apple mixture. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon, and water. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
  11. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
