Indulge in homemade McGriddle breakfast sandwiches featuring fluffy pancakes, savory sausage, and melty cheese, perfect for a comforting weekend breakfast.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2½ tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 8 slices cooked bacon (optional)
- 4 slices cheese (American or cheddar)
Instructions
- Divide the ground sausage into 4 equal parts and form into patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Set aside.
- If using bacon, cook it in the same skillet until crispy, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, pour in ¼ of the egg mixture.
- Cook the eggs like an omelet for about 1-2 minutes, flip and cook for another minute. Set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make 4 omelet squares.
- In a bowl, combine flour, milk, melted butter, baking powder, maple syrup, and salt to make pancake batter.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat, cook pancakes (3 tablespoons of batter each) for about 2 minutes on each side until golden.
- Assemble the sandwiches: start with a pancake, layer a slice of cheese, sausage patty, omelet square, optional bacon, and top with another pancake. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
- Serve warm with syrup or enjoyed as is.
Notes
For variations, try different cheeses, or add fresh herbs to the egg mixture. Store leftovers wrapped in foil for later enjoyment.
