Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 sausage patties
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 large eggs (for the sandwich)
- 2 large eggs (for French toast batter)
Bread and Dairy:
- 4 slices of thick bread
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup milk (120 milliliters)
- Butter for frying
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish to create a rich, aromatic French toast batter.
- Sizzle bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Using the same skillet, cook sausage patties until they reach a deep brown color and are fully cooked through.
- Gently immerse each bread slice into the prepared batter, ensuring complete and even coverage on both surfaces.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then carefully place battered bread slices and cook until they transform into a warm, caramelized golden hue on each side.
- In a separate pan, crack eggs and fry to desired consistency – whether sunny-side up or over-easy.
- Construct the sandwich by layering ingredients: start with a French toast slice, add sausage patty, crisp bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a perfectly fried egg, then crown with another French toast slice.
- Drizzle with pure maple syrup and serve while warm, allowing the flavors to meld and entice the palate.
Notes
- Customize Bread Selection: Choose thick-cut, slightly stale bread like brioche or challah for better batter absorption and a richer flavor profile.
- Boost Batter Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or orange zest to the egg mixture for an unexpected depth of taste that elevates the classic French toast.
- Control Cooking Temperature: Use medium-low heat when cooking French toast to prevent burning and ensure a crispy exterior with a soft, custardy interior.
- Make Ahead Friendly: Prepare components in advance and assemble sandwiches just before serving to maintain optimal texture and warmth.
