Equipment

8 baking cups (3.5 oz capacity) or use a muffin pan or mini loaf pan (See note below)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pancake mix
1/2 cup fine cornmeal
2-3 tbsp sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
9 medium eggs divided (Adjust the amount of egg depending on the bakeware you use)
pinches salt
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or other meltable cheese
2 tsp dried parsley flakes

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375˚F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, cornmeal and sugar. Then, stir in milk, melted butter, an egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well mixed. The batter should be a bit runny, easy to pour.
Fill each baking cup or mini loaf pan halfway with the batter. If using a muffin pan, fill each cavity one-third full. Place one egg in each cup or muffin cavity, making sure it doesn't overflow. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt on top of each egg.
Gently pierce each egg yolk with a toothpick to prevent it from exploding during baking. Sprinkle cheese and dried parsley flakes, or any topping of your choice, over the eggs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before enjoying them warm.

Notes

If you use a muffin tray, choose small to medium eggs due to the smaller cavity size. You'll need more than 12 eggs to evenly distribute the pancake batter. This recipe fills 8 baking cups, over 12 muffin cups, or 5-6 mini loaf pans. Adjust the number of eggs based on the bakeware you use.
