So, I’m not a huge “throw away the leftovers” fan, but sometimes I just cook too much. My dad teases me that I cook for an army. So, I end up with these random plates of some small-ish amount of everything laying around after we eat. Every. Time. It’s really annoying. But, since school is starting again and I have kiddos that want their lunch boxes full, I can totally start getting rid of the leftovers more efficiently (because really, I don’t like snacking on them all day–or do I?). This is one of those recipes to get rid of those leftovers fast. Breakfast on a Stick. Cute, delicious, and puts a smile on my kids’ faces. Priceless.
Ingredients for Breakfast on a Stick
- 5 Cake Pop Sticks – 4-inch sticks are best
- 10 cubes of cheese (I like mild cheddar for this, that’s my son’s fave, but you do whatever floats your boat–or your kid’s boat if they’re the ones eating it–no judging here)
- 1/2 cup scrambled egg leftovers (about 1 egg)
- 2 1/2 breakfast sausages
- 1 pancake leftover
How to Make Breakfast on a Stick
- Cut 3 “x”s in the center of 5 cube of cheese. Set aside.
- Slice each sausage into quarters.
- Cut “x”s in the center of each sausage quarter. Set aside.
- Cut the pancake into 10 pieces (don’t worry about the shapes, just make sure they’re at least the size of a quarter or slightly bigger).
- Cut “x”s in the center of each pancake piece. Set aside.
- Select 10 of the largest egg pieces and gently cut “x”s in each piece. Set aside.
- Thread one piece of pancake (using an “x” as the hole) onto one of the cake pop sticks.
- Thread a sausage on, then a piece of egg.
- Then, thread on a cube of cheese with an “x”.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8, then add one of the cubes of cheese with no “x”.
- Repeat steps 7 through 10 for each cake pop.
- Enjoy!
