Ingredients Needed:
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Homemade Sausage Patties: this keeps the recipe low in calories but high in protein. I use these Pork Breakfast Patties but you can also swap for the Turkey Breakfast Patties
- Fresh Eggs: I like to use fresh pasture raised for the best taste
- Tomatoes: opt for a good quality like heirloom or beefsteak for the best results
- Lettuce: either a crisp lettuce, baby greens or baby spinach is a great option.
- Salt and Pepper: These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Homemade Sausage Patties
Explore the satisfaction of crafting your own sausage patties at home. With quality ingredients and control over seasoning, you can create flavorful patties surpassing store-bought options. Homemade patties offer customization to suit your taste and avoid unnecessary additives. Don't hesitate to adjust the recipe with your preferred seasonings.
The touch of maple syrup or honey is recommended, it enhances caramelization, locking in all the delicious flavours
Variations on the Recipe
Unlock endless possibilities with this versatile recipe. While designed as a lower carb/high protein breakfast option, there's room for creativity to suit your preferences.
Feel free to accompany your Breakfast Towers with a slice of sourdough toast or a toasted English muffin for a touch of wholesome indulgence.
For an added dose of healthy fats and creamy texture, consider incorporating mashed avocado or fresh avocado slices. Avocado's rich profile of healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals not only enhances the dish but also offers various health benefits, including improved heart health and increased satiety.
For those craving an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some grated mature cheddar or parmesan over your Breakfast Towers. The addition of these savory cheeses provides a delightful punch of umami flavor, elevating your breakfast experience to new heights.
