Carnivore Breakfast Sausage and Egg Skillet
A hearty carnivore-friendly breakfast skillet featuring homemade pork sausage and eggs cooked together with butter, delivering a rich and satisfying start to your day.
Steps
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- 2
Form the seasoned pork into small sausage patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inch thick.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
- 5
Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled).
- 6
Serve the cooked sausage patties alongside the eggs on a plate, optionally spooning some of the butter and pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
Tips from the chef
Use fresh ground pork with a good fat content (around 20%) for juicy sausage patties.
Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add herbs like sage or thyme if desired but keep it carnivore-friendly.
Cook eggs gently on medium-low heat to avoid browning the butter too much and maintain a rich flavor.
Serve immediately while hot for best taste and texture.
