MAPLE BACON PANCAKE

MAPLE BACON PANCAKE


4-oz. bacon
1 cup baking mix
1-1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup milk
¼ cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp. white sugar
2 eggs


Preheat oven to 350^.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat together baking mix, ¾ cup Cheddar cheese, milk, maple syrup, sugar and eggs until only a small lump of cheese remains. Pour into prepared pie plate.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of pancake comes out clean. Sprinkle bacon and remaining ½ cup of cheese over top of pancake. Bake until cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.

Yield: 5 servings.
