Ingredients

  • pork butter/shoulder
  • thyme
  • sage
  • rosemary
  • fresh parsley
  • nutmeg
  • cayenne

Pork butt/shoulder – To give the sausages their proper texture and flavour, they need a lot of fat. I always go directly to the butcher and ask for an extra fatty piece of pork.

How to make breakfast sausages

There are many steps involved in sausage making. They are not quick to throw together, they take time and patience. Do not be afraid though, making your own homemade breakfast sausages are one of the coolest things to learn in the kitchen (in my opinion). I love my homemade sausages! Here is a full guide on How to Make Sausages.

How to cook breakfast sausages

Breakfast sausages are easy to cook. Here are my two preferred variations:

How to cook breakfast sausages in the oven

Heat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with a non stick baking mat and layer with the sausages. Bake for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165° and the sausages are nice and golden brown.

How to cook breakfast sausages in a frying pan

Heat a skillet on medium heat and fry the sausages until the internal temperature reaches 165° and the sausages are nice and golden brown.

Sausage Scrambled Eggs

This delicious Sausage Scrambled Eggs dish is very simple to make. Fry up a few sausages until golden then remove from the pan. Whisk a couple of eggs with a drop of heavy cream, salt and pepper. Slice the sausages up and add them to the eggs.

Pour the eggs into the hot pan and cooked until the eggs have fully cooked. Add a handful of shredded cheese if desired.

Run out of Casing?

No worries! Shape the rest of your maple breakfast sausage into little patties!
