Add-ins

Fold in 1 cup crumbled bacon, 1 cup scallions, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

To cook

Heat a large skillet (or two!) over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Spoon batter onto skillet, about ¼ cup batter per pancakes.

Cook until edges are dry and batter starts to bubble, about 2 minutes, then flip, cooking the other side about 2 minutes until done all the way through.

Heat a separate large skillet over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray. Gently drop raw eggs onto the skillet and cook until the white is opaque and the yolk has set, about 2 minutes.

To serve:

Divide pancakes among plates. Top each stack with a runny egg. Sprinkle with extra bacon crumbles, scallions, and cheese.

Serve hot with maple syrup or hot sauce, if desired.
