Meat Patties:

  2. Cook over medium heat on a grill pan for 2-3 minutes on each side. 

 

Omelette:

  1. Place the eggs in a medium-sized bowl and whisk yolks and whites together. Add the whole milk and whisk to combine.
  2. Coat a large pan with butter and add ¼ of the eggs into it.
  3. Cook the omelette on your stovetop over low heat for a few minutes on one side, add sea salt, then flip and cook another minute.
  4. Gently fold the omelette into thirds, then into a square towards the top of the omelet.
  5. Repeat this process with the rest of the eggs until you have 4 omelettes.

 

Pancakes:

  1. Combine the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt – in a large bowl, then add the milk, egg, butter, maple syrup. 
  2. Mix everything until you a smooth, thick batter forms. 
  3. Coat a non-stick pan with a little butter and pour 2-3 tablespoons of pancake batter.
  4. Cook for about a minute or two, flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until you have 8 pancakes. 
  5. While pancakes are cooking, cook the bacon on a pan until crispy or if you are using the microwave kind, cook in the microwave.
