#PANFan breakfast brunch cornbread cornmeal eggs kid-friendly P.A.N. Cornmeal recipe sausage

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg

Disclosure: I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenHaving two smaller children in the house can make some meals interesting. If I’m not careful, they will have nothing but cereal, waffles, yogurt and sandwiches to eat all day long. Not that any of that is bad, but I do try to get lots of colorful foods in my kids diets and a variety of flavors, colors and textures. So I try to make mealtimes fun and this summer it’s been necessary to cultivate a little more creativity to get them excited about new things. My kids love corn dogs, they also love sausage, eggs and toast for breakfast. It wasn’t long before I had a magical idea that transformed breakfast for us all.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenIt all started with this little bag of cornmeal. P.A.N. Cornmeal is a staple in many South American homes. In fact, it’s the number one selling brand of cornmeal in all of South America and is so versatile. You can use it for a variety of meals, whether it’s for breakfast (or brunch), dinner, or even dessert! I came up with a delicious batter that would be amazing for corndogs, but I decided to use it for little breakfast bites instead. Little bites of sausage wrapped in an egg scramble and covered with this cornbread batter. Then I pulled out the deep fryer to get a nice crisp texture with a delicate and tasty middle. Just as I thought, the kids love it and gobbled it right up. I already have requests for other filling ideas, but I quite like this recipe as is.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenNow the batter can be a bit tricky since it is a sticky one. Once you get it down, it’s super easy and the breakfast bites will be smooth and golden. Since there are some rising ingredients, you really only need a thin layer of the batter before it’s dropped into the fryer, the breading will expand and puff up into a beautiful golden bite of deliciousness. Are you ready to try? For more delicious cornmeal inspiration, check out the P.A.N. Cornmeal tumblr page.

Sausage and Egg Filling Ingredients:

  • 1/4 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 green bell pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 maple flavored sausage links

Cornbread Batter:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, divided
  • 3/4 cup P.A.N. cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • canola oil (for frying)

How to make the breakfast bites:

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by adding both bell pepper portions to a food processor until diced. Lightly saute in 1-2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenCrack the eggs in a bowl, then whisk them until blended. Add the eggs to the pan with the bell peppers and lightly scramble. Spread around the pan and continue to cook on low when the eggs are still loose and uncooked. Let sit until eggs are cooked through in a flat layer.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenWhile the eggs are cooking, brown your sausage in another pan. I use just a bit of water and olive oil when browning my precooked sausage. Cook these as you normally would.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce the eggs and sausage are done, fill up your deep fryer with oil and set the temperature to about 360 degrees. While the oil is heating up, add 2/3 cup of the flour, the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and baking soda to a dish. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenAdd both eggs and mix well, then slowly pour in the milk. Get a second dish to put the remaining 1/3 cup of flour in.

Tip: Before you start dipping the breakfast bites in the batter, it helps to spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray.Since the batter is so sticky this really helps make the batter pliable and smooth so it won’t stick to your hands. Be sure to spray your hands between each breakfast bite too!

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenGently work the batter around the sausage and egg, forming a thin layer around the mixture.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenDrop each battered ball into the oil, shaking them around every minute or two. After about 3-5 minutes each breakfast bite will be done, be sure to try to get an even golden color all over.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenRemove each bite from the oil and place it on paper towel to catch any remaining grease. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce done you can serve with salsa, ketchup, even maple syrup!

Cornbread Battered Breakfast Bites with Sausage and Egg #PANFan #ad #IC | Mama Harris' KitchenI prefer the more savory taste, and these were absolutely delicious with salsa!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
