Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1 cup Pancake Mix Consider using whole-grain mix for added nutrition.
  • 1 cup Milk Feel free to substitute with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Egg Or use egg whites for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Can be swapped for melted butter.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup For a lower sugar option, try maple extract.
For the Filling
  • 4 slices Cheese (e.g., American) Pepper jack can be used for a spicy kick.
  • 4 slices Breakfast Meat (Bacon/Sausage) Turkey bacon or vegetarian patties can be used.
For Assembly
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (for brushing) Enhances the sweet and savory experience.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by combining the pancake mix, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix until just combined and let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter into the skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and brown the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, crack your eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cover to help cook evenly for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Prepare your breakfast meat by cooking bacon until crispy or following package directions for sausage.
  5. Layer a pancake bun with a slice of cheese, cooked egg, and breakfast meat. Top with another pancake bun and brush with warm maple syrup.
  6. Serve warm with optional sides like fresh fruit or hash browns.
