Description
Start your day with these satisfying Protein McGriddle Breakfast Sandwiches, combining fluffy pancakes with delicious savory fillings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole grain pancakes
- 1 egg
- 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon or 1 sausage patty
- 1 slice of cheese (optional)
- Maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the whisked egg onto the skillet. Cook until the bottom sets and edges begin to solidify. You can flip it for an over-easy egg if preferred or keep it sunny-side up.
- In another pan, cook the turkey bacon or sausage patty until it’s heated through and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
- If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on top of the cooked egg just before taking it off the skillet. Let it melt slightly.
- Take one pancake, add the egg with cheese if using, and layer on the turkey bacon or sausage. Top with the second pancake.
- Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup for that perfect sweet-complement to your savory ingredients.
Notes
Serve warm, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to prevent overcooking the egg.
