Probably one of my first times letting my mind run instead of following any kind of real recipe. I just wanted a McGriddle but decided ‘I’m too lazy to drive there but not lazy enough to make a mess of half my kitchen’

This can be sliced into four sandwiches

2 cups prepared pancake batter (your favorite variety)
1/2 lb breakfast sausage
3 large eggs
Cheese of your choice
3 tablespoons butter (mainly pan greasing)

Tools of course being a large enough griddle or pan to make the pancakes minimum. You can cook each part individually, or try to spread it out.

So my methodology was to split my attention.

Pancakes are fairly simple. Split your batter in half, and pour into a hot greased pan set to medium. Allow to form bubbles on top and flip, cook until golden on both sides (mine seems darker as I personally used wheat pancake batter). If you want something more true to form, drizzle in some syrup before you flip them.

Now, here’s where you gotta get a bit tricky. You need to flatten out your breakfast sausage into one patty, roughly the same size as your pancakes. Once your pancakes leave the field, or if your cooking surface can handle it all, toss the patty on, cooking it through. Standard is 165 F.

Finally, keep that diameter in consideration, and crack your eggs. Here I opted to do a rough scramble after cracking into the pan. Whether scrambled pre or post, keep it sized.

My second trick, when the eggs were about half done I tossed some cheese on top and flipped the whole lot of eggs, so the cheese hit the pan directly. Got a nice layer that didn’t end up crunchy, still real cheesy.

Finally, assembly. One pancake, eggs, sausage, cheese, and the second pancake. This here made nice single sized sandwiches when sliced into fourths.
