What is a McGriddle?
A McGriddle is a breakfast sandwich that is made by the fast-food chain, McDonald’s. It consists of fillings such as bacon, egg, sausage, ham, and cheese between two maple flavored griddle pancakes.
Can I make McGriddles in advance?
Yes, McGriddles can be made in advance. We recommend preparing the griddle cooked pancakes, eggs, and bacon and storing them separately. They can be reheated in a conventional oven or toaster oven as well as the microwave and assembled right before they’re served.
How do I store homemade McGriddles?
Homemade McGriddles can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, for use within three days. Or, they can be stored in a zipped freezer bag or an airtight container and frozen for up to three months.
How do I reheat these?
McGriddles are best when reheated in a conventional oven or toaster oven. Wrap them in foil to maintain moisture.
If using the microwave to reheat, simply place them on a microwave safe plate and do not wrap in foil.
Tips, Tricks, and Substitutions
Cheese. American cheese or cheese that melts easily such as individually wrapped slices or processed cheese such as Velveeta is the cheese that’s traditionally used for these. However, you can use whatever cheese you’d like.
Egg Fold. Feel free to fold your egg, or don’t fold your egg. The purpose of the egg fold is to make the sandwich higher and to give it visual dimension. If you don’t want to fold your egg you can use scrambled eggs or a fried egg, any type of cooked egg will work.
Pancake Mold. We recommend using a Mason jar ring as a pancake mold. However, if you don’t have one, you can just make the pancakes without a mold or use a biscuit cutter as your mold. It all tastes the same.
The Process. We recommend making one portion of the sandwich at a time so that you don’t get overwhelmed. It’s okay to warm it in the oven when it’s done and after you’ve assembled it. There are quite a few pieces and parts here so use our step-by-step process for success.
