There is restaurant in Arizona called Over Easy that we absolutely love! When we saw it featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network, we immediately wanted to try it! We have been there several times for a nice weekend breakfast and their food is incredible. We are hooked and we always share their Waffle Dogs, which are sausage links dipped in waffle batter, and cooked until golden brown! We dip them in maple syrup and my husband and I also use a little hot sauce. They are fabulous, so I wanted to surprise my husband and make something similar at home. I was so excited when I came across Pancake Sausage Bites at The Hungry Housewife. Last night, we had breakfast for dinner and the Pancake Sausage Bites tasted pretty darn close to the ones at Over Easy. They were a huge hit and after one bite, my daughter said, “Mommy, these are delicious. You need to make them again!” Everyone really enjoyed these tasty little bites combining two outstanding flavors! Pancake Sausage Bites would make a perfect weekend breakfast and your family will love them!
