 Makes 4-5 servings.

Ingredients:

For the Zucchini Breakfast Sausage:

  • 1 lb ground pork

  • 1 medium zucchini

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp sage (or 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning)

  • 3/4 tsp poultry seasoning (or sub for sage, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram OR your favorite spice blend if your spice cabinet is a little limited)

  • 1 tsp fennel seeds

  • 1/4-1/2 crushed red pepper flakes 

  • 1/2 tsp white or black pepper

 

For the Perfect Soft Boiled Egg:

  • 4 eggs

 

 

Directions:

For the Zucchini Breakfast Sausage:

  • Shred the zucchini on the large hole part of a box grater, salting and patting dry with paper towels. 

  • Add to a large bowl with the ground pork, sage, garlic powder, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes. 

  • Mix thoroughly with your hands until the spices are well incorporated. 

  • Get a cast iron nice and hot and grease with some avocado oil. Take a small teaspoon of meat mixture and cook 1-2 min per side and taste to adjust for seasoning. 

  • Form meat into 2 tbsp patties, flattening to allow for even cooking. 

  • Cook each patty for 2-3 minutes per side until a nice crust has developed on each side. You will likely have to do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan. 

For Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs:

  • Bring a pot of water up to a rolling boil. 

  • Slowly lower in the eggs all the way into the water with a slotted spoon, ensuring not to crack the egg. If your water is boiling too fast, reduce the heat to a simmer, lower the eggs, and then bring back up to a boil to avoid cracking them.

  • Cook the eggs for exactly 6 minutes for soft boiled. 

  • Transfer to an ice bath and let cool completely before peeling.

  • Top with some salt and everything but the bagel seasoning and enjoy!
