Description
Savory griddle cakes packed with beef bacon, sweet corn, and melty Monterey Jack cheese, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a unique appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices beef bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup corn (frozen, canned or fresh)
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Warm maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Cook the beef bacon pieces in a cold skillet over medium heat until rendered and beginning to crisp. Add the chopped sweet onion and sauté in the rendered fat until softened and translucent. Reserve 1 tablespoon of rendered fat for greasing the griddle and set aside the bacon and onion mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold the cooked beef bacon and onion mixture, corn, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the batter. Distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour portions of the batter onto the hot griddle, about 1/4 cup per cake, leaving space between them. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping when bubbles form on the surface.
- Serve the cooked griddle cakes warm with a drizzle of warm maple syrup. They can also be served with sour cream or hot sauce.
