Description

Make these ahead of time, wrap, and freeze them individually, and heat them up for an alternative to a McGriddle® sandwich any time you need a quick meal. They're super yummy. Reheating will vary based on microwave, but will involve using less than 50% power.

Ingredients
  • 20 egg whites
  • 4 eggs
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • salt to taste
  • 12 slices low-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar-free pancake and waffle syrup or light pancake and waffle syrup
  • ¼ cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 quart milk
  • cooking spray
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a jumbo muffin tin.
  2. 2. Scramble egg whites, 4 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, and salt to taste in a bowl until light and fluffy. Fill each muffin tin compartment 1/2 full with egg mixture. Cover with aluminum foil.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, about 25 minutes.
  4. 4. Transfer eggs to a clean surface and immediately place 1 slice Cheddar cheese on each so they melt.
  5. 5. Mix baking powder, flour, and 2 teaspoons salt together in a large bowl.
  6. 6. Mix 4 eggs, syrup, sweetener, melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Pour into the bowl with the baking powder mixture, adding 1 quart milk as you mix. Stir until pancake batter is the consistency of melted peanut butter.
  7. 7. Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle, swirling the spoon to create a circular shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip only once and cook about 30 seconds more. Remove from griddle. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. 8. Allow all ingredients to coo. Make sandwiches using 2 pancakes as the bun and an egg and cheese portion in the center. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap. Place sandwiches in a resealable plastic freezer bag and store in the freezer.
