These Easy Homemade McGriddle Breakfast Sandwiches are a fun twist on the classic breakfast sandwich. With pancakes acting as buns, the combination of savory sausage, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg is both hearty and satisfying. The touch of maple syrup adds the right amount of sweetness, creating a balanced sweet and savory breakfast that hits all the right notes.
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup pancake mix (plus ingredients required for pancakes, usually water or milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 breakfast sausage patties
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices American cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Butter, for cooking
Directions:
- Prepare the pancake mix according to package instructions, then stir in the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to add a sweet flavor.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour small circles of pancake batter (about 3 inches in diameter) onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Set the pancakes aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preference, either sunny-side up, scrambled, or fried. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the McGriddle sandwiches: Place one pancake on the bottom, top with a sausage patty, a cooked egg, and a slice of cheese. Drizzle a little maple syrup on top of the cheese, then add another pancake on top to close the sandwich.
- Repeat for the remaining sandwiches and serve warm.
