Add the lentils and water into a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 20-30 minutes.
Add the oats into a blender and blend almost until they reach oat flour. Let it have a little bit of texture to provide texture to the patty.
Once the lentils are cooked and all the water is gone add them into a bowl. Mash them up until mostly broken down but leaving a bit of texture.
Then add the oats, soy sauce and seasonings. Mix well to incorporate.
Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup scoop in the patty mixture and shape into a patty.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You will get 4 patties from this. Make them a bit on the thinner side and shape them into a nice circle.
Bake for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Prepare Pancakes
While they bake prepare the pancakes. Add the apple cider vinegar into the non-dairy milk and set aside for a few minutes to curdle.
In a bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Use a whisk to mix everything and break down any big clumps.
Add in the buttermilk and whisk until smooth. I like to add the batter into a measuring cup for easy pouring. You should have 2 cups of batter, which will help for making even pancakes later on.
To make the pancakes spray the ring mold (homemade or storebought) with a lot of oil. YOU DO NOT WANT THE PANCAKES TO STICK.
Add it to a pan on medium low heat and spray the pan inside. Then add in about ¼ cup of pancake batter. Let this cook until bubbles are forming on the top and it looks slightly dry.
Then drizzle in a bit of the maple syrup. Let it cook for another minute.
Then add another ¼ cup of the batter. Let this cook for another 3-5 minutes until the top looks somewhat dry. You can add a top to help it cook quicker. You will also see the batter starting to cook and pull away from the sides of the mold.
Carefully remove the mold (it will be hot) and flip the pancake. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until it looks cooked and fluffy.
Repeat with remaining batter and you will have 4 pancakes (2 for each sandwich).
Prepare Vegan Egg
In a bowl add all the ingredients for the chickpea flour "egg" and whisk until smooth. This will be thinner.
In a non-stick pan spray a bit of cooking spray and add ½ of the batter.
Cook on a low heat until it looks dry (about 5-6 mins) on the top and then flip. Cook for another 5 minutes after flipping.
To make a folded "egg" appearance fold the sides up into a smaller rectangle. You can watch how I did it in the video.
Optional: you can cook the "sausage" patty in the pan for a few minutes in 1 tsp of oil to add some extra fat and richness to it.
Assemble
To assemble the sandwich add a pancake and then a slice of vegan cheese. Let that melt for a few minutes.
Then add the "sausage" patty, folded "egg" and other pancake. Enjoy!

Notes
You can prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze and then warm up before use.
You will have 4 patties, 2 leftover to use as you like.
