If using leftover pancakes, heat them in a skillet over medium heat until warm. If making fresh pancakes, prepare them according to your favorite recipe and set aside.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
While the eggs are cooking, place one pancake on a plate. Layer with two slices of bacon or a sausage patty, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Once the eggs are cooked, place one egg on top of the cheese layer. Add the second pancake on top to create a sandwich.
Repeat the layering process for the second sandwich. Drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
