Cowboy Stacker Breakfast Sandwich

Prep TimeCook TimeTotal Time
5 minutes10 minutes15 minutes

Garlic Butter Spread Ingredients

1 stick Butter
1 tbsp Garlic Salt
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Pepper
1 tbsp Parsley
A pinch of Ancho Chili Powder

Instructions

1. Place butter in a mixing bowl and warm to room temperature.

2. Mix in the garlic salt, paprika, pepper, parsley, and chili powder.

3. Spread on both sides of the Texas toast (serving size to taste).

Cowboy Stacker Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients

3 slices of Texas toast-style bread (any bread will do)
2 extra large eggs
6 slices of bacon
2 slices of your favorite cheese (we used cheddar)
2 sausage patties (we substituted Black Forest Ham)

Instructions

1. Warm the griddle before placing the sausage and bacon on. Sausage will take longer depending on the thickness, so start with that. Remove and set both aside once done.

2. Crack the eggs into the griddle ring (or just on the griddle) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using griddle rings isn’t required, but it does help make the eggs that cool circle shape and is great for the sammich’. We did the eggs separately to have two for the sandwich stacking. 

3. Flip and cook the eggs to your preference. We cooked them for about two minutes per side for an over-medium finish. We cooked the eggs in the grease left over from the bacon but feel free to use a squirt of oil (we used canola) before putting the eggs on to help keep the eggs from sticking.

4. Place the cheese on top in the last 30 seconds of the eggs cooking. If you have a griddle cover, spray a quick hit of water near the eggs to create some steam, and then cover the eggs with the griddle cover to steam and melt the cheese. It’s not required, but really gives it that beautiful color and evenly spreads the cheese.

5. Put three pieces of buttered bread on the hot griddle while the eggs are cooking. Flip them according to how you like your toast (we did about 30 seconds a side).

6. Once the toast is done, place a piece on a plate and put one cheesy egg on top of the toast
put your sausage on top of the egg. 

7. Place the second piece of toast on top of the sausage and set your second egg on top of the toast. 

8. Top that egg with bacon and finish with your third piece of toast to wrap up your breakfast creation. Then slice it down the middle, find a seat, and enjoy!

Prep TimeCook TimeTotal Time
10 minutes12 minutes22 minutes

Ingredients

1 breast of chicken
2-3 strips of bacon
1 bag of your favorite Chicharrones (for this recipe, we used regular)
1 head of lettuce
1 Brioche bun
Mayo or Mustard
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Drizzle your chicken breast with olive oil to evenly coat all sides. 

2. Crush up your chicharrones in a bowl and add a dash of salt and pepper (the chicharrones will have salt in them, so you don’t need a lot), garlic salt, and paprika.

3. Roll the chicken breast around in the bowl of chicharrones breading and set aside.

4. Heat your grill and griddle and place a little oil on the grill. 

5. Cook the chicken, rotating often, until the internal temp reaches at least 165℉.

6. Put the bacon on the griddle while the chicken is cooking. Cook it thoroughly until it’s as crispy as you want.

7. Put the chicken and bacon aside and grab the brioche buns. I like to toast them on the griddle where we cook the bacon. They should be done in about 30 seconds of direct heat.

8. Use your favorite condiment on the buns before placing the chicken, then the bacon, on top. Then add lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and any other toppings you desire.

9. Top with the other side of the bun, cut, and enjoy!
