Maple Syrup Breakfast Dumplings

As someone who loves dumplings, I'm always brainstorming crazy dumpling ideas. After eating a sausage and egg sandwich one morning for breakfast, the idea of breakfast dumplings was born! Enjoy the dumplings by themselves or dip them in maple syrup!

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup bacon bits
• ½ cup maple syrup
• cooking spray
• 1 pound bulk regular pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean®)
• 50 potsticker wrappers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a bowl lined with paper towels to drain some of the grease.

Step 2

Beat eggs, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Spray another large skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Pour eggs into the skillet; cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Mix sausage, scrambled eggs, and bacon bits together in a large bowl, crumbling any large chunks. Mix in maple syrup.

Step 5

Pour water into a small bowl. Wet edges of the dumpling wrappers using your fingers dipped in the water. Place about 1 teaspoon filling into the middle of each wrapper; fold in 1/2 to make dumpling shapes. Press edges to seal and pinch so they won't open while cooking.

Step 6

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add dumplings, cover, and steam until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
