Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 cup water
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices cheese
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: pancake mix, water, ham, cheese, and eggs. Ensure you have a non-stick skillet or griddle, mixing bowl, spatula, and a whisk ready for use.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix with 1 cup of water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, making a total of 4 pancakes.
- In the same skillet, add the slices of ham and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are heated through and slightly crispy. Remove the ham and set it aside.
- Next, crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes. If you prefer, you can cover the skillet with a lid to help cook the tops of the eggs.
- Once the eggs are cooked, it's time to assemble the sliders. Place one pancake on a plate, followed by a slice of ham, a slice of cheese, and then an egg on top. Finish with another pancake to create a slider.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining ingredients to create a total of 4 sliders.
- Serve the Ham Egg Cheese Pancake Sliders warm, and enjoy your delicious American breakfast treat!
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor - farm-fresh eggs and high-quality ham make a huge difference.
- Let your pancake batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to ensure lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Keep your skillet at a consistent medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce to your eggs.
- If you want to make preparation faster, you can cook pancakes and other components simultaneously using multiple skillets.
- These sliders are best served immediately while everything is still warm and the cheese is melty.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat pancake mix and lean ham.
- Experiment with different cheese types like cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack for variety.
