Plant-Based Breakfast Patties
What it is
These plant-based breakfast patties offer a savory and satisfying alternative for your morning meal. They are crafted from a blend of plant-derived ingredients, designed to mimic the texture and flavor of traditional breakfast sausage. Their convenient pre-formed shape makes them easy to prepare and incorporate into various breakfast dishes. They are a good option for those seeking to reduce their consumption of animal products or explore new breakfast possibilities.
How people cook with it
These versatile patties can be enjoyed in a variety of breakfast settings.
- On a breakfast sandwich
- Crumbled in a breakfast scramble
- Alongside pancakes or waffles
- As a side dish with toast
To prepare, simply cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are heated through and lightly browned. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, turning once. Ensure they are cooked to your desired level of crispness. They can be added to breakfast burritos, served with eggs, or placed on top of English muffins for a complete meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pork sausage, these patties are made entirely from plant-based ingredients. This results in a different flavor profile and texture, often with a lighter mouthfeel. They typically do not contain the same type of fat as animal-based sausages, offering a distinct culinary experience for those who prefer plant-forward options.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
