Ingredients

  • 12 slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 6 large eggs

Bannock

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon oil for frying

Sausage Patties

  • 1 lb ground pork or sausage
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork or knife until the flour is in pea-sized pieces. Mix in the egg and ¼ cup milk. Mix together until it forms a dough and add more milk if needed. Divide into 6 pieces .
  • In a large skillet, heat oil to medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the bannock until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm until ready to use.
  • Mix together the pork or sausage, maple syrup, ground pepper and salt. Form into six ¼” thick patties. Using the same skillet as the bannock, cook the sausage patties until brown and caramelized on both sides. Keep warm until you assemble the sandwiches.
  • Again, using the same skillet, fry your as desired. We prefer over-easy eggs but scrambled or sunny side up is a great alternative.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by cutting the bannock in half. Spread with dijon mustard. Place an egg on the bottom, then sausage, and 2-3 slices of Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar Cheese. Place in broiler or covered skillet until the cheese melts. Garnish with greens of your choice.
