Ingredients
  

Sausage layer:
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage or 4 pre-made patties
Egg layer:
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Pancakes:
  • 1 cup flour or gluten-free flour/pancake mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
Optional:
  • Crispy bacon
  • Sliced American or cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Shape ground sausage into 4 patties. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side until cooked through. Set aside. Cook bacon in the same pan if using and set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Melt a small knob of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture and cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until set enough to flip. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Fold the edges in to form a square. Remove and repeat three more times for 4 egg squares total.
  3. Combine all pancake ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. Lightly butter the skillet and add 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 minutes until golden and firm on the bottom, then flip and cook for 1–2 more minutes. Repeat until you have 8 pancakes total.
  4. Assemble each sandwich: one pancake, cheese (if using), sausage patty, egg square, bacon (if using), second pancake. Repeat for all 4 sandwiches.
