Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey sausage
6 large pasture-raised eggs
1.33 cups all-purpose flour
1.66 cups milk (divided)
2.5 tbsp pure maple syrup
4 slices American or sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp butter
0.5 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Form turkey sausage into four equal round patties.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear sausage patties for 3 minutes per side until cooked through; remove and keep warm.
Whisk eggs with 1/4 cup milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan to create a thin omelet layer.
Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 1 additional minute before folding into a square.
Repeat the egg process for remaining batches.
Prepare pancake batter using flour, remaining milk, and maple syrup; cook in the skillet until golden brown.
Assemble sandwiches by layering a pancake, a cheese slice, the cooked egg square, a sausage patty, and top with a second pancake.
Notes
Ensure the maple syrup is whisked thoroughly into the pancake batter for even flavor distribution. You can substitute turkey sausage with a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian-friendly version. Store leftover sandwiches in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
