Whether you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo (click HERE for a history of this holiday), or just love a great alternative for breakfast, we suggest Sturdiwheat Corn Cakes. They are easy to make, and so flexible. Corn cakes with chili. Corn cakes for breakfast with maple syrup. Corn cakes with guacamole. Corn Cakes as a side with almost anything. But more on that later.

Today, please take a look at this incredible breakfast using Sturdiwheat Corn Cakes! Use it for the Holidays or whenever you feel like having a special treat.

You will need:

• Sturdiwheat Corn Pancake Mix / water
• Corn (Fresh, Frozen, or Canned) (Use paper towels to dry the corn)
• Sweet Red Pepper, Poblano Pepper (or regular green pepper) Medium Dice
• Basted Eggs

Prepare a cup (or two, depending on how many people you are serving) of Sturdiwheat Corn Pancake Mix as directed on the package. Add corn and peppers. Let sit for several minutes. Fry the corn cakes as you would a regular pancake. Place in the oven to hold while the eggs are prepared. Baste eggs (scramble, or fry).
