Description

Savory breakfast bites with sausage, egg, cheese, and pancake layers, inspired by McGriddle flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk or half-and-half
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped chives (optional)
  • Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a nonstick skillet until just set. Set aside.
  3. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low. Spoon batter to make small pancakes. Cook until bubbles form and edges set.
  5. Add scrambled egg, sausage, and cheese to each pancake. Top with more batter or another pancake.
  6. Flip and cook until golden brown and centers are done.
  7. Sprinkle with chives and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick skillet for easy flipping.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs—they’ll finish cooking in the bites.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
