Breakfast Sausage Patties with Fried Eggs

Name: Breakfast Sausage Patties with Fried Eggs
Yield: 1 servings
Ingredients: 1 frozen sausage log; 2 large eggs; Unsalted butter, if needed

A hearty family breakfast comes together quickly when you throw some sausage and eggs into a skillet together. The eggs will cook in the fat from the patties, which flavors them, too. The recipe can be easily adjusted, depending on how many hungry mouths you have to feed.

Directions

1. Let frozen sausage log stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Unwrap sausage, and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds using a serrated knife.

Push patties to 1 side of skillet and cook eggs as desired, adding unsalted butter if needed.
