How to Cook Pancakes With Eggs in the Middle (4 Steps)

If you're craving a sweet and savory breakfast, create an all-in-one dish with fluffy pancakes and fried eggs. Use your favorite boxed or homemade pancake mix to create the base of the recipe. You can top the pancake and egg combo with additional toppings, such as crispy, fried bacon and maple syrup to create even more flavor layers. The dish also makes a filling and convenient dinner for evenings when you're pressed for time.

Things You'll Need

  • Pancake batter
  • Plastic squeeze bottle or pastry bag
  • Griddle or nonstick skillet
  • 1 egg
  • Spatula
  • Toppings, such as syrup and fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the pancake batter according to recipe or box directions. Pour the batter into a plastic squeeze bottle or pastry bag.

  2. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet. Squeeze the pancake batter onto the hot griddle in a circle shape with a hole in the middle. Allow the batter to cook for one minute or until it begins to set.

  3. Crack an egg into the center of the pancake. Fry the egg until the yolk begins to harden and a white film covers the top of it.

  4. Flip the pancake and egg combination over carefully using a spatula. Continue cooking the combination until the pancake is golden brown on both sides and the egg is cooked all the way through. Serve the pancake and egg with your choice of toppings, such as syrup, bacon, sausage patties or fresh fruit.
