A dramatic, puffed skillet pancake with savory sausage, sweet peppers, and a hint of chive, baked in a Dutch oven for a breakfast that’s part showstopper, part comfort food.

- 2 links breakfast sausage cooked and sliced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper sliced

- 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
Instructions

Notes
A hot Dutch oven is key for a dramatic rise. Keep kids clear of the lid when adding/removing coals. Serve immediately as the pancake will deflate over time.
