Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 loaf sliced sourdough bread
  • 1 pint mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 bottle fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage links (maple flavored if possible)
  • 1 box buttermilk pancake mix (plus water as directed on the box)
  • 1 bottle pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (for scrambled eggs)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Make sure it's at room temperature for easy spreading

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay thick-cut bacon on a cold baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  2. While the bacon cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook breakfast sausage links for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Prepare buttermilk pancake batter according to box instructions. Heat a griddle or large pan to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). Cook pancakes in batches, keeping finished ones warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
  4. Approximately 5 minutes before serving, whisk large eggs with 1/2 cup whole milk. Cook over medium-low heat until just set and creamy.
  5. Toast sliced sourdough bread just before serving that warm, cozy vibe in a cloth-lined basket.
Serving
  1. Arrange cooked bacon and sausage on a large cutting board or platter. Place mixed fresh berries in pretty bowls. Pour pure maple syrup into a pitcher.
  2. Set up a pancake bar with toppings like sliced bananas, chopped nuts, and whipped cream.
  3. Serve fresh-squeezed orange juice and other desired beverages.

Notes

If you have leftovers, they keep for about 3-4 days in the fridge. Store pancakes, bacon, and eggs separately. You can freeze cooked pancakes for those busy mornings — just pop them in the toaster or microwave to reheat.
