Breakfast Sandwiches with Chilli-Fennel Sausage Patties

This high-protein breakfast sandwich offers a sophisticated twist on a morning classic, featuring homemade pork patties infused with aromatic fennel seeds and a gentle kick of chilli. By making your own sausage meat from quality pork mince, you control the seasoning, ensuring a savoury and punchy flavour that far surpasses shop-bought alternatives. The combination of melted Swiss cheese, fresh heirloom tomatoes, and a perfectly fried egg creates a satisfyingly messy and indulgent start to the day.

Ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch or a post-workout meal, these sandwiches provide a substantial dose of protein to keep you fuelled until lunch. For the best experience, use free-range eggs with deep orange yolks and serve the muffins whist they are still warm and crisp from the toaster. It is a hearty, cafe-quality dish that you can easily replicate in your own kitchen.

Ingredients for Breakfast Sandwiches with Chilli-Fennel Sausage Patties

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 450g best-quality pork mince

  • 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 matsked olivolja

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 4 large free-range eggs

  • 4 English muffins, store-bought or homemade, split and toasted

  • 60ml Spicy Herb Mayo

  • 1 large heirloom tomato, thinly sliced

  • 4 sandwich-size lettuce leaves

Make the sausage patties: Using a mortar and pestle, smash together the fennel seeds, oregano, and red pepper flakes. In a large bowl, combine the pork mince with the spice mixture, salt, and black pepper. Give the sausage a good mix, separate it into four equal portions, and shape them into patties. The patties should be just larger than the width of the English muffins, as they will shrink when cooked.

Heat two large skillets, one over medium heat and the other over medium-low heat. Pour the olive oil into the first pan and, working in batches if necessary, fry the sausage patties for 5 minutes per side, or until crispy and cooked through. When you flip the patties, top each with cheese.

Melt the butter in the second pan. Crack in the eggs, taking care to not break the yolks. Gently fry the eggs until the whites have set but the yolks are still nice and runny.

While the eggs and sausage are cooking, spoon a heaping spoonful of the mayo onto each muffin half.

To build each breakfast sandwich, lay a sausage patty, tomato slice, and fried egg on each English muffin bottom. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then top with a lettuce leaf and the other muffin half. Serve immediately.
