This breakfast muffin dish by The Vulgar Chef offers an alternative way to enjoy several popular morning meal items in one convenient cake. The dish features a blueberry muffin mix topped with fried bacon, sausage and a runny fried egg. The meal is a combination of a variety of bold brunch flavors in a streamlined dish worth testing out.

To make these sausage and bacon breakfast cakes The Vulgar Chef recommends starting off with pre-made blueberry muffin mix and pouring the contents into a baking dish. The muffin mix is then topped with a layer of bacon strips, then a layer of [cooked sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pancake-sausage-stick) and finally another layer of muffin mix. Once the mixture is baked like a cake it is sliced up and served with a runny fried egg over top.
