American · Main course · 40 min total

Recreate the iconic McDonald's Big Breakfast at home with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, savory sausage, and golden hotcakes with butter and syrup.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter, divided
• 2 frozen hash brown patties
• 4 breakfast sausage links (or patties)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg (for hotcakes)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (for hotcakes)
• Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare hotcakes: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, 1 egg, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Pour wet into dry, stir until just combined (lumps ok).
2. Cook hotcakes: Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per hotcake. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more. Keep warm.
3. Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage links until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Keep warm.
4. Cook hash browns: Cook frozen hash brown patties according to package directions (usually in a skillet with oil, about 4-5 minutes per side). Keep warm.
5. Scramble eggs: In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Pour in egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until soft curds form, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Assemble: Divide hotcakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and hash browns between two plates. Top hotcakes with remaining 1 tbsp butter and serve with maple syrup.

Tips

• To keep everything warm, preheat oven to 200°F and hold cooked items on a baking sheet.
• Use a nonstick pan for eggs to ensure easy cleanup.
• Substitute buttermilk with 3/4 cup milk plus 1 tsp lemon juice if needed.
