Method

Cooking Meats

  1. 1

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispness.

  2. 2

    Cook Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the sausage links and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Grill Ham Steak

    Remove the bacon and sausage from the skillet and place the ham steak in the skillet. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly browned.

Scrambling Eggs

  1. 4

    Prepare Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Cook Eggs

    Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for about 30 seconds before gently stirring. Cook until eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Making Hash Browns

  1. 6

    Cook Hash Browns

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add frozen hash browns, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Making Toast/Pancakes

  1. 7

    Toast Bread

    Toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown, then spread butter on top.

  2. 8

    Prepare Pancake Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Combine both mixtures and stir until just combined.

  3. 9

    Cook Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
