In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, 1 egg, melted butter, and maple syrup until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form small circular pancakes. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat until you have 4 pancakes.
In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties or bacon slices until browned and fully cooked. Set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg. Grease the skillet again and pour the whisked egg onto the skillet to form a small, round omelet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until fully set.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one pancake on a plate, top with a sausage patty (or bacon), an egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and then another pancake.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!
