Homemade McGriddle Sandwiches
It's time to bring the drive-through into your home kitchen! Homemade McGriddle Sandwiches have an egg and sausage patties topped with American cheese between two fluffy pancakes. These are easy to meal prep for a delicious breakfast all week long.
This post is sponsored by Minnesota Chicken and Egg. We eat eggs on a daily basis, and love them because they are nutrient dense, packed with protein, and of course delicious! For more information on Minnesota egg farming, egg nutrition and cooking and to get delicious recipe ideas, follow the Minnesota Chicken and Egg on Facebook and Instagram.
Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day. It can be so versatile - sweet muffins and pancakes (Cinnamon Roll Pancakes anyone?!), and savory eggs and toast. I also love a sweet and savory combination, which is why these Homemade McGriddle Sandwiches are right up my alley!
Luckily, with this recipe we no longer have to go through the drive through to get our McGriddle sandwich. These sandwiches can be made easily with sheet pan eggs, pancakes made with a pancake mix, and chicken sausage patties. If you're looking for an easy way to make pancakes, I have a Sheet Pan Pancake recipe, too!

Ingredients
Eggs - This recipe uses 18 (!!) eggs, which contain important nutrients for brain health including choline and lutein and are a great source of high quality protein which helps maintain muscle and support bone growth.
Milk - combined with the eggs for the sheet pan eggs.
Pancake Mix - I use Krusteaz pancake mix which only requires water to be added. I always get super fluffy and yummy pancakes when using this pancake mix!
Maple Syrup - I add a little bit of maple syrup to the pancake batter to give the McGriddle a sweet maple flavor.
Chicken Sausage - I used chicken sausage patties, but any type of sausage patty can be used.
American Cheese - this type of cheese is super melty and delicious on these breakfast sandwiches!
Variations
- Cook your eggs differently. You could make traditional scrambled eggs, poached eggs, or fried eggs, if you'd like! I love the sheet pan egg method because it is efficient for cooking a LOT of eggs at one time.
- Use bacon. These McGriddle Sandwiches can definitely be made with bacon instead of sausage. Or you can double up the meat and use both!
- Homemade pancakes. If you have a homemade pancake recipe that you love, you can definitely use that one instead. Or use my Fluffy Buttermilk Pancake recipe! I like using the mix for these sandwiches for the sake of ease.
Step by Step Instructions
- To start, cook the eggs. To a blender, add the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until well combined.
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, top with parchment paper, and then grease with more cooking spray.
- Pour the egg mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-17 minutes. The eggs should be set.
- While the eggs are baking, you can make the pancakes and sausage.
- Prepare the pancake mix according to package direction. I made 16 pancakes for 8 McGriddle sandwiches. Cook on a griddle according to the package directions. I recently bought a pancake mold, which makes perfectly round pancakes!
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet until cooked through.
- Cut the cooked eggs into individual portions. I use my pancake mold, which worked perfectly making them the same size as the pancakes. You can also use a round biscuit cutter or just a pizza cutter to make them into squares.
- Now it's time to assemble! Place one egg patty on top of one pancake. Then top with a sausage patty, American cheese slice, and another pancake. You can either let the heat from the sausage and pancake melt the cheese, or pop the sandwich in the oven for 4-5 minutes. Enjoy!
