Mini Beef & Broccoli Breakfast Sausage Patties

Ditch the store-bought sausages and try these Mini Breakfast Sausage Patties to jazz up your homemade brunch. Made with lean ground beef, they’re higher in protein and a lot lower in saturated animal fat too. 

Other than a pinch of salt, pepper and cloves, all you need are dried sage for that nice earthy flavor and crushed red chili pepper flakes to add a little heat. I also sneak in some riced broccoli to add some extra bulk.

Mix it all together, shape those puppies, and cook them on a lightly greased skillet. Less than 15 minutes and you have 6 little patties ready to go. I bet that’s a lot quicker than your trip to the grocery store + cooking that purchased version.

What’s on my platter? Roasted Breakfast Potatoes, Sprouted Flax Seed Bread from Alvarado Street Bakery and some Sunny-Side-Ups. Sunny-Sides-Up? Same difference.
