Pancake Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

• For the Sandwich:

  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

  • 2 eggs (scrambled)

  • 2 slices of bacon

  • 1 sausage patty

  • Butter (for greasing the pan)

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pancakes:

• Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

• Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

• Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (The batter may be a little lumpy, but that’s fine!)

• Cook pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Set the pancakes aside.

2. Cook the Sausage Patties:

• Cook sausage: In a pan over medium heat, cook the sausage patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the Bacon:

• Fry the bacon: In the same pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

4. Scramble the Eggs:

• Prepare eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

• Cook eggs: In a small, lightly greased pan, pour the eggs over medium heat and cook, stirring gently, until they’re just scrambled and slightly soft. Remove from the heat once cooked through.

5. Assemble the Sandwich:

• Layer the ingredients: Start with one pancake on the bottom. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the pancake.

• Add sausage patty: Place the cooked sausage patty on top of the cheese.

• Add scrambled eggs: Put the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage patty.

• Add crispy bacon: Layer the crispy bacon slices on top of the eggs.

• Top with another pancake: Place the second pancake on top and press gently to hold the sandwich together.

6. Serve:

• You can drizzle a little maple syrup over the top of the sandwich for extra flavor or serve with a side of fresh fruit, hash browns, or a small salad.

Tips:

• Make-ahead: You can make the pancakes ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer. Just reheat them before assembling the sandwich.

• Variations: Add other breakfast toppings like avocado, tomato, or hot sauce for extra flavor. You could also swap out the cheddar cheese for American, Swiss, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.

Q&A:

Q: Can I use a store-bought pancake mix instead of making the pancakes from scratch?
A: Absolutely! You can use any pancake mix of your choice. Just follow the instructions on the package for making the pancakes.

Q: Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
A: Yes, simply replace the sausage patty and bacon with vegetarian alternatives like plant-based sausage or mushrooms. You can also load it up with more veggies like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers.

Q: Can I make the sandwiches ahead of time for meal prep?
A: Yes! You can prepare the individual components (pancakes, eggs, sausage, and bacon) ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Assemble the sandwich just before eating.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: If you have leftover sandwiches, wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet.

Enjoy!
