Description
Transform those weekend pancakes or bacon and eggs into a fun and cute Easter themed breakfast. This Easter Bunny Breakfast idea is easy to make and kids love it!
Ingredients
Bunny Pancake:
- 1 pancake
- 1 slice bacon
- 2 chocolate chips or blueberries
- 1 strawberry, use the tip (or a raspberry)
- 6 thin “whisker shape” strips of pineapple
Fried Egg Bunny:
- 1 fried egg (sunny side up)
- 1 slice bacon
- 2 blueberries (or substitute black olives)
- 6 chives or thin strips of cheese cut into “whiskers”
Scrambled Egg Bunny:
- 2 scrambled eggs
- 1 slice bacon
- 2 blueberries
- 1 raspberry
- 6 thin strips of cheese or chives cut into “whiskers”
Instructions
- Cook bacon: Cut bacon slice in half. Cook to desired level of crispiness and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Make pancakes or eggs: Make pancakes, fried egg (sunny side up) or scrambled eggs depending on the variation you want to make. Or make a variety!
- Assemble: Time for the fun part! See below for instructions for each version. The post also contains step by step photos for each variation.
Pancake Version: Place a pancake on a plate. Position the bacon as ears. Place the chocolate chips or blueberries as the eyes, the tip of a strawberry or raspberry as the nose and thin pineapple strips as whiskers.
Fried Egg Version: Place the fried egg on a plate. Position the bacon as ears. Add two blueberries for eyes and place the chives or thin cheese strips on as whiskers.
Scrambled Egg Version: Scoop the scrambled eggs into a small bowl or ramekin. Position the bacon as ears. Add two blueberries for eyes, a raspberry for the nose and thin strips of cheese or chives as whiskers.
Notes
- This recipe is for one Easter Bunny Breakfast for demonstration purposes. However, you will usually cook off a bunch of pancakes, eggs or bacon at once. Simply repeat the assembly process to make additional bunny pancakes or eggs.
- Cooking Bacon: I prefer to cook the bacon in the oven. Cut each slice in half and lay on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Cook in a 400F (200C) oven for 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you like it (timing also depends on thickness of bacon). Remove from the oven and transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
