Breakfast Sandwich w/ Chicken Apple Sausage Patties

Starting your morning with a protein-packed, nourishing breakfast sandwich is a guaranteed way to set your day up for success! Making your own chicken apple sausage patties is easier than you think, and even better, you’ll know exactly what’s going in them. If you’d rather use a pre-made option, that’s totally fine too. Feel free to use whatever your favorite cheese is (or omit for dairy free)- really, anything goes!

To Make Chicken Sausage Patties

If you want to go above and beyond on breakfast sandwiches, make your own sausage patties! These chicken and sausage patties are made with chopped apple, thyme, and yellow onion which creates a rich, savory sweet flavor profile. These patties are great  served as a dinner sandwich as well. They will go great with a white, flavorful cheese like gouda, but whatever you have on hand works too.

Chop your ingredients then add to your ground sausage. Mix everything together with your hands in a bowl, roll into equally-shaped balls, and flatten into a patty. 

Use a Gluten-Free Sourdough Bun

I'm making my sandwich with Bread SRSLY's gluten-free and vegan sourdough buns. These are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and also large enough to hold our chicken patties. Sourdough is perfect for this sandwich recipe because it adds a bit more flavor- something you won't find in any fast food breakfast sandwich.

INGREDIENTS

For the sandwiches:

  • 4 slices cheese (your choice, can also omit for dairy-free)
  • 4 chicken apple sausage patties (see ingredients below)
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 Bread SRSLY Gluten-Free Sourdough Sandwich Rolls
  • Aioli (or your favorite sauce- ketchup, hot sauce are good too!)

For the sausage patties:

  • Ghee (for cooking)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or other dried herbs you like) 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Start by making the sausage patties: Add a bit of ghee to a pan on medium heat and sauté the apple and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow to cool, then add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in the same pan and form the sausage mixture into 6-8 evenly sized patties. Make sure to flatten them so that they are not too thick.
  3. Cook the patties about 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through (you’ll likely need to do this in 2 batches).
  4. To assemble the sandwiches, slice the buns in half and toast until warm and browned.
  5. Add a slice of cheese to 4 patties and heat on a pan, covered with a lid, to melt the cheese. Meanwhile, fry 4 eggs in a bit of ghee.
  6. Spread aioli or sauce of choice on the bun then add one sausage patty and a fried egg. Enjoy!
