Have you ever ever thought to make a sandwich out of pancakes? Flip a breakfast plate of pancakes, sausage, and eggs into one tasty, moveable pancake breakfast sandwich! This visitor put up was written by my foodie buddy Elizabeth of Drift Cville!

Nothing screams breakfast to me fairly like having pancakes. 

The scent alone is sufficient to transport me again to childhood when my mother would make them on Saturday mornings. They’re the final word breakfast meals for the household as a result of they’re straightforward to make and there are a ton of variations you may attempt.

You possibly can go together with an oatmeal pancake (the mashed bananas add a terrific taste), a thick and fluffy sheet pan pancake (this works effectively if you happen to want plenty of pancakes), pancake tacos, or use the cheese Danish pancake recipe for some added protein.

My private favourite method to get pleasure from pancakes is to make a breakfast sandwich just like a McGriddle. Candy pancakes with maple sweet, savory sausage and egg, and easy to assemble, that is the right possibility for a weekend breakfast. 

Make it from scratch or take quick cuts

This recipe has a couple of superior steps: making the maple sweet and sausage patties from scratch. You possibly can completely take a brief reduce and omit the maple (drizzle just a little inside like a condiment in order for you the flavour) and use pre-formed sausage patties! 

Higher but, make your pancakes upfront, and you may have this sandwich able to go in minutes on a weekday morning! 

Right here is my recipe for a scrumptious candy and savory pancake breakfast sandwich.

Pancake Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Components

• 1/3 cup maple syrup, grade A
• 1.25 cups pancake combine (I used Kodiak, sufficient to make about 8 pancakes) 
• 1.25 cups water for pancake combine
• 4 giant eggs
• 1 Tbsp water
• Salt and pepper
• 4 sausage patties, pre-formed or pre-made
• 4 slices cheddar cheese or equal shredded cheese
• Cooking spray, butter, or oil for cooking

Directions

Step One: Make The Maple Sweet

Step one is non-obligatory for if you wish to give your breakfast sandwich just a little little bit of a McGriddle really feel. It is a enjoyable approach so as to add just a little sweetness and it’s easy to do – although a bit messy!

First, you’ll line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set that apart. Subsequent, you’ll warmth the maple syrup in a small pan over medium warmth.

The syrup will begin to bubble and foam earlier than decreasing (this takes round 4-6 minutes, relying in your stovetop). I like to recommend watching this rigorously, as it might burn shortly and you then’ll have a really bitter tasting sweet in your fingers (sure, I’ve completed this, and sure, it was disgusting).

As soon as it’s lowered, instantly pour the syrup onto the parchment paper, and use a spatula to unfold it into a skinny layer. Permit this to chill for about 10 minutes earlier than breaking the sweet into tiny items (you’ll later add this to the pancake batter).

Step Two: Make the Pancakes

In a small mixing bowl, mix the pancake combine with water. (If you happen to’re utilizing a mixture aside from Kodiak desserts, add any oils or eggs the combo requires.)

You’ll need to whisk the components collectively till it’s largely easy. If you’re utilizing maple sweet, I combine it into the batter.

As soon as mixed, make small pancakes utilizing a greased pan over medium warmth. I like to recommend utilizing a measuring cup for every pancake to make sure they’re all the identical dimension. If you happen to don’t really feel comfy eyeballing the batter, be at liberty to make use of a hoop mould or a mason jar lid when you’ve got one out there – you’ll simply need to make sure that no matter you employ received’t soften on the heated pan.

Cook dinner the pancake till golden brown (round 4 minutes) after which flip over to complete the opposite aspect (round 2 minutes). As soon as cooked, place the pancake to the aspect on a dish and repeat with the remaining batter till you might have eight pancakes.

TIP: Preheat the oven to 250 and place the pancakes on a lined baking sheet to maintain within the oven so that they’ll keep good and heat.

Step Three: Cook dinner the Sausage

If you happen to’re utilizing pre-made patties, warmth them up right here. If cooking from floor, kind your patties and wipe out the pan or skillet you used to make the pancakes, add just a little extra butter or oil and add the sausage. Cook dinner for about 3-4 minutes or till it reaches the inner temperature of 145°F. As soon as your sausage is cooked, place it on the plate or baking sheet with the pancakes.

Step 4: Make the Eggs

Now it’s time for the eggs! In a small bowl, whisk collectively the remaining 4 eggs together with water, salt and pepper.

Wipe out the pan or skillet once more (I’m all about saving on the variety of dishes for cleansing up!) and re-grease. Warmth the pan to medium and add the eggs. 

If you wish to do a folded egg, you’ll warmth the egg till it units on the underside and across the edges, which is able to take about 2 minutes.

Then switch the pan into the oven to prepare dinner till set on prime, which ought to take one other 3-4 minutes (make sure that the pan is oven protected if you’re doing it this manner!).

You’ll then take away the pan and fold the eggs like an omelet earlier than reducing into sections.

For a range prime possibility, simply make a standard omelet on the range and add within the cheese so it melts in. You too can add some other components you assume would go effectively. In any case, savory and candy at all times work effectively collectively, so throwing in some jalapenos or scallions can add a pleasant variation and reduce by the sugar of the syrup sweet and the pancakes.

Reduce your egg fold or omelet into 4 sections. 

Step 5: Assemble your sandwich.

Now that you’ve all the things cooked, it’s time to assemble the sandwich!

Place a sausage patty on prime of a pancake and add the egg and cheese earlier than topping with one other pancake. You possibly can then proceed to warmth these within the oven till good and heat or you should use the pan to do the identical. Repeat with the remaining components to finish 4 sandwiches complete.

Step Six: Benefit from the Remaining Product!

Now you may get pleasure from your pancake breakfast sandwich! This offers the very best savory and candy punch to begin your day.
