  • Yield: 4 sandwiches
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Griddling
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or pancake mix
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder (if using all-purpose flour)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or maple flavoring
  • Butter or oil (for cooking pancakes)
  • 4 breakfast sausage patties or slices of bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter (for cooking eggs)

Instructions

  1. Mix pancake batter by combining flour (or pancake mix), milk, egg, baking powder, and maple syrup or flavoring until smooth.
  2. Heat a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook small pancakes (about 3 inches wide), ensuring there’s an even number for sandwich tops and bottoms.
  3. Cook the sausage patties or bacon until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Scramble or fry the eggs in a buttered skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Shape eggs using a round mold if desired to fit the pancakes.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches by layering a pancake, cheese, egg, meat, and topping with another pancake.
  6. For melty cheese, wrap the sandwiches in foil and warm them in a hot skillet or oven for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add a second slice of cheese or use turkey sausage for a lighter version.
  • Mini pancakes can be used for slider-sized sandwiches.
  • Brush pancakes with syrup before assembling for extra sweetness.
  • Reheat by microwaving for 1–2 minutes or baking in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes.
  • Store assembled sandwiches in foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
