Enjoy a delicious homemade take on the classic McGriddles with this easy recipe that combines fluffy maple-infused pancakes, savory folded eggs, warm sausage patties, and melty American cheese for a perfect breakfast sandwich experience.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pancakes

  • Pancake mix (enough for 8 pancakes)
  • Eggs and milk as called for on pancake mix box
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Eggs

  • 8 eggs

Other

  • 4 cooked sausage patties
  • 4 slices American cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancakes: Make your pancake mix according to the box directions. Whisk in the ¼ cup maple syrup to infuse the batter with a rich sweetness. Use this batter to cook 8 pancakes until golden and fluffy, setting them aside warm.
  2. Cook Folded Eggs: For each sandwich, whisk 2 eggs until fully combined. Spray a medium non-stick skillet and heat it on low. Pour the eggs in, ensuring they cover the bottom of the pan. When the eggs start to set, use a spatula to gently loosen the edges. Fold one side of the eggs towards the center and then the other side, followed by folding the short ends to the middle, creating a compact folded egg shape. Repeat this step for all 4 servings.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place one pancake on a plate, add a slice of American cheese, then top with the warm folded egg and a cooked sausage patty. Cover with a second pancake if desired or serve open-faced. Repeat assembly for the remaining sandwiches and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought sausage patties or make your own for added flavor.
  • Ensure pancakes are not overcooked to maintain their tender texture with the maple syrup flavor.
  • Cook eggs on low heat to prevent browning and keep them tender when folding.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste as cheese melts perfectly from the warm egg and sausage.
