Not surprisingly, my biggest meal challenge is making breakfast. I cut eggs out (and they will be the first thing I reintroduce, believe me), and all the pork sausage I had contained added sugar, so I’ve been eating a lot of leftovers. But what about when I don’t have pieces because I’m cooking for one? Or when I want breakfast food? Cue this rosemary breakfast sausage!
As much as I wanted some maple breakfast sausage, maple syrup is a no-no for now. To create a savoury sausage that was still “breakfasty”, I used rosemary and some other herbs and spices for these rosemary breakfast sausage patties.
As you can see, I’ve been enjoying these this week with some sweet potato “hash browns” – I can’t call them that because I’m too impatient to let them become a hashbrown patty, but they’re still super tasty.
