Well, my sister is here and it is bacon apple breakfast soon.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This bacon apple breakfast is unexpectedly delicious. The slightly sweet cornbread has a very subtle hint of cinnamon that's a nice contrast to the salty bacon. Apple adds another layer of sweetness and texture. Melted cheddar cheese on top enhances the breakfast casserole. It reminds us of melting cheese on top of apple pie. Kind of strange, but it works. Sweet and savory, it will be a great weekend breakfast or brunch addition.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 2 boxes Jiffy cornbread
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 small apples grated or finely diced
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

How To Make bacon apple breakfast

  • Fry the bacon.
    Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Fry the bacon to a crisp. Pat the grease from the bacon with paper towels. Crumble the bacon.
  • Combine cornbread mix, cinnamon, and salt.
    Step 2
    In a large bowl, stir together the cornbread mix, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Scramble the eggs and add milk, melted butter, and maple syrup.
    Step 3
    In a medium bowl, scramble the eggs. Then stir in the milk, melted butter, and maple syrup.
  • Fold in the apple and bacon.
    Step 4
    Fold in the bacon and apples.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients.
    Step 5
    Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour into a skillet.
    Step 6
    Pour into a 10-inch skillet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
    Step 7
    Bake for 20 minutes or until all but the center of the cornbread is set. You can also use a pie pan but spray with butter spray. Do not let this overcook as it will dry out. When you take this out the middle will not be done but will continue to cook.
  • Immediately sprinkle with shredded cheese.
    Step 8
    Remove the cornbread from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the cheese over the cornbread to melt.
  • Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
    Step 9
    Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
