I don't know about you guys but I love the combination of savory and sweet for my breakfast. I love bacon drizzled in maple syrup and i love eating my waffles with sausages. With that love comes this recipe I created called The Breakfast Stack.As the name suggest, it's a stack of wholesome good ol' breakfast ingredients - eggs, sausage, waffles/crumpets/pancakes/grilled burger buns/ bacon and a drizzle of maple syrup. It's totally out of this world, people...out of this world. The sweet flavors of maple syrup is cut by the saltiness of the the bacon and sausages and then a hint of sweetness is tasted again - it just makes you want to have this for lunch, dinner and supper. Now, this is the perfect breakfast because it gives you all the energy you want to start your day so you don't eat badly throughout the day as oppose to when you skip breakfast.
Anyway, here's the recipe for The Breakfast Stack,
Ingredients:
1 waffle, toasted (but you can use any carb base you want; bread/buns/crumpets/etc)
1 egg
2 slices of bacon (if you don't eat pork, find an alternative)
2 sausages, mashed and shaped into a pate.
1 tomato, halved (i used Russian Persimmon, they're orangey/yellow in color)
Maple syrup, enough to drizzle
salt and pepper
Method:
Major part of this breakfast is assembly. But first toast your waffle and let it sit on the center of the plate.
1. Cook your sausage until both sides are slightly brown and crisp. Layer the cooked sausage on top of your waffle.
2. Take two strips of bacon, lie on 3 layers of paper towels and microwave it high for 3 minutes. This is a really effective way of cooking bacon without excess fat and it comes out crispy. You can of course cook it on the stove as well. Once cooked, take both bacons and criss cross it ontop of the sausage.
3. Drizzle some maple syrup ontop of the stack, as much as you want.
4. Then, Cook your egg into a nice sunny side up with your halved tomatoes on the side.
5. Lay the cooked eggs ontop of the stack and seaon with some salt, pepper. Serve the pan fried tomatoes on the side. Drizzle more maple syrup around.
Cook this in a non-stick pan as it'll save you tons of time and frustrations :D

It's a beautiful presentation of breakfast. I love that egg on top :D
Always yearn for a sunnyside up for bf (breakfast, i mean..not boy friend)
Sweet and savory is a good combination. I remember having a monte cristo (sophisticated name for ham and cheese sandwich) here in California, and they dust the savory sandwich with some dusting sugar. It was such a pleasant surprise and I actually love it :D
sasi: hmm i have never tried making my own muesli bars. i'll think about it :D
bloomingtree: i looove McD's banana pie. it reminds me of the goreng pisang at jelutong where the outside is crispy and the inside is just molten and sweet. Mmmmmmm...
tigerfish: Ooh you will definitely love this one :D The maple syrup is not as sweet as honey, however, if you want to use honey you can try
