Apple & Pork Breakfast Bites

Yum

Today is the big reveal day for Freaky Friday Recipe Swap! A group of fabulous bloggers, 19 of us, were assigned a blog to cook/bake from. Tons of delicious recipes were tested and are now being shared! It's been top secret, and today we all share! Fun, right? 



I was assigned to a blog that was new to me, so it was really fun getting to know Angela at LeMoine Family Kitchen. Angela has so many amazing recipes, and she likes a lot of the same types of food that I do, so it was really hard narrowing down what to make for Freaky Friday!

I finally narrowed it down to two, and made them both. Sweet & Savory Pork Breakfast Bites, and Southern Hoe Cakes. Wow... what a delicious breakfast we had! I had been reading in several places lately about Hoe Cakes, so curiosity finally got me. They are kind of like a cross between corn bread and a pancake.
Definitely a dish that will be on our table again.


Then the Breakfast Bites... Oh my gosh. I haven't run into a recipe like this before, and it is going to be in the menu often. These bites are perfect for making ahead of time and reheating. I don't know about your house, but we need more options like that the way our mornings are! From the spice blend, to the honey sweetness, topped off by the apples mixed in. It really is the best breakfast meat, aside from my love of bacon, of course.

What will I be trying next from LeMoine Family Kitchen? No Bake Peanut Butter Pie, of course!

Be sure to scroll down to the links below so you can see what everyone else made!
I wonder who made one of my recipes!



Apple & Pork Breakfast Bites (Source: Lemoine Family Kitchen)

1 lb. lean ground pork
1 apple, finely diced (I used Granny Smith)
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp honey

Preheat oven to 385 degrees.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

In small skillet, add apples and water.  Cook over medium heat until just softened.  Add spices and honey. Saute for 2-3 minutes.  Remove apples from heat and cool completely.

Once apples are cool, add to pork and mix until thoroughly combined. Using cookie dough scoop, scoop mixture onto prepared pan, and flatten slightly.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
