JALAPENO CILANTRO BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES

I don’t know about you, but there is only so much chicken apple sausage I can eat. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but just like how people can get tired of eggs, I get tired of chicken and apple sausage. Hashtag majorly. And all the “fun” flavors at the store either have a crap ton of sugar in it or are so.dang.expensive. I mean $8.99 for a 4 pack of sausage stuffed with pineapple. Yah, umm no thanks, I’ll just do it myself and get twice as many!! Plus I know exactly whats going into them!

These jalapeno cilantro breakfast sausages definitely have some bite to it, obviously. If spice isn’t really your thing here are a couple more breakfast sausage recipes that may float your boat more. Breakfast Meatballs and Savory Breakfast Sausage .  And per usual, you can freeze these and save them for a rainy day. Well it doesn’t need to be raining, it could be bright and sunny! You may freeze them uncooked or cooked, although I prefer the latter because then you just need to defrost and heat up in your skillet in the morning!

To freeze these bad boys wait until they are completely cool. I personally like to place wax paper or parchment paper between each one so that they don’t stick after they are frozen.  Place in a freezer bag and store 3-6 months.  To cook, defrost in the fridge overnight and simply reheat with a little oil in a pan.  Place a lid on top of the pan and let it cook for a couple minutes each side until warm. Serve with those eggs you are so tired of having!! LOL.
