Put the ground sausage in a bowl and gently massage with your hands. Form 4 meat patties and then season with salt and pepper.
Cook over medium heat on a grill pan for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Place the eggs in a medium-sized bowl and whisk yolks and whites together. Add the whole milk and whisk to combine.
Coat a large pan with butter and add 1/4 of the eggs into it.
Cook the omelette on your stovetop over low heat for a few minutes on one side, add sea salt, then flip and cook another minute.
Gently fold the omelette into thirds, then into a square towards the top of the omelet.
Repeat this process with the rest of the eggs until you have 4 omelettes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. A few small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing.
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while you heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Lightly grease the skillet with butter. Pour about 3 Tbsp of batter for each pancake.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Put one hot pancake on a plate and place a slice of American cheese on it.
Place the meat patty on the cheese, followed by the creamy omelette and some slices of crispy bacon.
Top with a second pancake, and repeat until you have 4 McGriddles.
Store assembled McGriddles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 60–90 seconds.

Yes. Cook the sausage patties, bacon, and omelettes up to 2 hours ahead and store at room temperature. Make pancakes fresh or reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before assembling.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Ground sausage should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set (2–3 minutes). Cook the second side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Yes. Cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack work well. American cheese melts fastest, so other varieties may need an extra 30 seconds to melt.
After adding salt, flip and cook another minute. Gently fold into thirds, then fold again into a square shape toward the top of the omelette to fit between the pancakes.
