About the Recipe
A classic breakfast combination of perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs paired with flavorful, savory breakfast sausages. An ideal start to your day that's protein-packed, easy, and satisfying.
Ingredients
2 large eggs (Chicken or Duck)
4 breakfast sausages (choose sausages without added sugars, fillers, or artificial ingredients)
Preparation
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs:
Cook Eggs: Place eggs gently into a saucepan, cover fully with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat, cover, and let sit undisturbed for exactly 10 minutes.
Cool & Peel: Transfer eggs quickly to ice water for 3-5 minutes, then crack and peel gently under running water.
Cooking Tip: An immediate ice bath ensures eggs peel easily and prevents overcooking.
Breakfast Sausages:
Cook Sausages: Place sausages in a skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through.
Ingredient Tip: Check ingredient labels carefully; choose sausages that clearly state "no sugar added," and avoid fillers or seed oils.
Meat Lover’s Flavor Boost Options:
Browned Butter: Drizzle browned butter over peeled eggs for nutty richness.
Smoked Sea Salt: Sprinkle lightly onto eggs for savory depth.
Mustard (clean, sugar-free): Serve sausages with a side of spicy or Dijon mustard.
Homemade Breakfast Patties: Make your own sausage patties with ground pork, salt, pepper, and sage to control ingredients.
