Hi friends! Now that summer is here and our schedules are filling up (with mostly fun stuff I hope!), I’m focusing hard on finding us fast, nourishing meals that are a snap to make, and a true joy to eat. Sometimes quick + healthy + tasty can be tricky! Ya know?
Today we’re talking breakfast. More specifically, healthy AND hearty breakfast options. If you’re looking for a fun, filling, vegetarian friendly breakfast that’s sure to keep you going for hours and hours – well friend, look no further! I’ve got you covered.
Meet the veggie sausage, egg, and avocado breakfast burger. And by burger, I mean burger. This bad boy boasts a soft potato bun stuffed with fluffy scrambled eggs, smashed avocado, and a juicy original MorningStar Farms Original Veggie Sausage Patty. I added some Summer-sweet slices of ripe tomato for fresh flavor, and a few sprigs of crisp red onion for a wonderful crunch! I also topped the burger with addictive pickled jalapeños for just a little SPICE. I love spice! All of these ingredients on one giant breakfast sandwich!? HELLO dreamboat Am I right?!
P.S. Have you tried MorningStar Farms Original Sausage Patties?! For years I was silly and scared to try veggie sausage, and then my friend Alex introduced me to MorningStar Farms. For serious, guys – we LOVE them. They’re tender, juicy, and so healthy! In fact, they’re so delicious I stuffed one in mister man’s sandwich last week and he didn’t even notice. I’m so sneaky sometimes! But only when it’s good sneaky Anyways… I know you’ll love them, too. Just give them a shot! MorningStar Farms also has 30+ products and 600+ recipes for more ways to eat smart and their newest products include Roasted Garlic & Quinoa Burger, Buffalo Chik Patties, Parmesan Garlic Wings, Mediterranean Chickpea Pizza and Baja Black Bean Pizza.
Currently this big boy breakfast burger is my go-to pre-workout meal! But it also makes a great lunch/brunch/ breakfast for dinner option. It’s VERY filling, but so fresh, light, and healthy that it helps speed me through my mornings effortlessly. Sometimes I substitute the scrambled egg for an over-easy one, and it’s just as tasty – so feel free to cook your egg anyway you please.
The really great thing about this burger is it’s highly adaptable! You can add an extra sausage patty if you’re really hungry, use a gluten-free bun if you please, or add extra veggies/toppings/cheese. Anyway you fix it, it’s a healthy, hearty, absolutely delicious way to start the day! And my current favorite. If you love a good breakfast sandwich, then I just know you’re going to love these breakfast burgers!
