Ingredients You’ll Need
16 small pancakes (store-bought or homemade)
8 large eggs, scrambled or made into folded omelets
8 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or mozzarella)
8 sausage patties or cooked bacon strips
Optional: maple syrup, fruit spread, or even a touch of hot sauce
Pro Tip: I love using my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe, but feel free to grab frozen pancakes for extra convenience!
How to Make Pancake Sandwiches
Make or warm up your pancakes. You can make them homemade or use frozen mini pancakes, whatever makes your life easier. Let them cool completely before assembling.
2. Prepare the Fillings
Cook your sausage patties or bacon until crispy.
Scramble eggs into large, flat portions or bake them in a casserole dish and cut them into squares.
If adding veggies (spinach, peppers, etc.), sauté them with the eggs for an extra nutrition boost.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay out your pancakes. On one pancake, layer:
a slice of cheese
scrambled egg or egg patty
sausage patty or bacon
optional drizzle of syrup
top with a second pancake.
4. Freeze
Let sandwiches cool completely before wrapping to avoid sogginess. Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or foil, then store in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Label with the date.
These sandwiches stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 months.
How to Reheat Pancake Sandwiches
🥞 Microwave: Remove wrapping, place sandwich on a plate, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
🥞 Air Fryer: Air fry at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway for crispier pancakes.
🥞 Toaster Oven: Heat at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
Mom Tip: Wrap in a paper towel in the microwave to keep them from getting soggy.
Flavor Variations to Try
🥓 Bacon, Egg, & Maple Cheddar
🌱 Veggie Delight: Add spinach, peppers, and onions.
🍓 Sweet & Savory: Add a thin spread of strawberry preserves for a fun twist.
🌶️ Southwest Style: Use pepper jack cheese and a dash of hot sauce.
These pancake sandwiches are fully customizable, so you can easily adjust based on your family’s preferences or dietary needs.
Why Homemade Pancake Sandwiches Beat Store-Bought
Healthier portion sizes.
Way more affordable (especially with a big family).
Tastes fresher, especially with homemade pancakes.
How to Make Them Allergy-Friendly
🥞 Dairy-Free: Skip the cheese or use dairy-free alternatives.
🥞 Meat-Free: Use plant-based sausage or leave out the meat entirely and add veggies.
