Wendy's Breakfast Baconator - CopyKat Recipes (2024)

Wendy’s Breakfast Baconator is one of the most exciting breakfast sandwiches you can order. If you don’t want to wait at the drive-through, you can recreate this bacon-lovers sandwich at home.

Mornings can get pretty hectic, and you can’t always cook a hot, fresh breakfast at home. That’s when you are most likely to find yourself in the drive-thru line at the local fast-food restaurant. And if you are a bacon lover (and seriously, who isn’t?), you can’t do much better for a morning meal on the go than Wendy’s Breakfast Baconator.

The Breakfast Baconator is a towering culinary achievement of smoky bacon strips, a hearty sausage patty, melted American cheese, perfectly cooked egg, topped with a dollop of Hollandaise sauce, and all held together with a big, toasted brioche bun. Truly a masterpiece when it comes to breakfast sandwiches.

There’s just one tiny problem. When the weekend rolls around, and you had a late night, getting up early is just about the last thing you want to do. That is a shame because Wendy’s stops serving the Breakfast Baconator at 10:30. But don’t worry, we have you covered. Try this homemade version, that, dare we say, might even be better than the original.

Building a Better Breakfast Baconator

Getting the small things right matters most, and for this recipe, it all begins with the bun. Sure, you could use a Kaiser roll or a normal hamburger roll if you must, but it has to be a toast buttered brioche bun for the full experience. Butter is the key here. Not does a layer of butter help to crisp up the bread, it also prevents the buns from getting soggy.

Once you the buns are in the toaster, it’s time to start cooking the bacon and sausage patty. Heat a stovetop griddle pan if you have one, or the largest thick-bottom saute pan in your kitchen. When the cooking surface is good and hot, place the sausage patty and bacon on it. Once you notice juices pooling on the top of the sausage patty, flip it over and turn the bacon. Crack the egg onto the cooking surface. For the best results, try using an egg ring. After around two minutes, the bottom of the eggs should set. Remove the egg from the ring and flip it. Reduce the heat to low, and put a slice of American cheese on the sausage patty and egg. Continue to cook until everything cooks through, and the cheese melts

The order you assemble the Breakfast Baconator is vital. Lay the sausage patty with cheese on the bottom bun. Cut the bacon strips in half, put half on top. Carefully balance the egg on the bacon, and then cover with the remaining bacon strips. Pour on a little prepared Hollandaise sauce and finish with the top bun. Serve with lots of napkins.

Tips for Cooking and Serving the Breakfast Baconator

• Hollandaise sauce substitutions. No Hollandaise sauce, no problem. You can leave it off, try a few spoonfuls of salsa, or even an avocado slice instead.
• Crowd control. If you have a full house, try cooking each component of the dish separately and keeping them warm in the oven.
