Beyond Breakfast Sausage
I am so excited to join Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, to introduce its latest meal idea - Beyond Breakfast Sausage - you’ll find it in grocery stores in the coming weeks.
Beyond Breakfast Sausage offers a better-for-you plant-based option using simple ingredients, without GMOs, soy, or gluten. It comes in both classic and spicy flavors. I always try to incorporate healthy, plant-based foods into my diet and am always looking for more delicious choices. Earlier this week, in celebration of Beyond Meat’s newest product innovation, I created two new recipes - Classic Beyond Breakfast Sausage Frittata with Spinach & Sweet Onions, and Spicy Beyond Breakfast Sausage & Grits with Roasted Tomatoes. Whether served as part of a recipe or on its own, Beyond Breakfast Sausage is good and good-for-you because it has 50-percent less total fat, 35-percent less saturated fat and sodium, and 33-percent fewer calories than traditional pork sausage. Plus, it tastes great - I encourage you to try both varieties!
Enjoy these photos.

- Once everyone arrived, I welcomed the guests to our table and talked about the benefits of eating more plant-based products and less meat.
-
- My first demo was the Beyond Breakfast Sausage Frittata with Spinach and Sweet Onion. Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelet or crustless quiche or scrambled eggs mixed with vegetables, cheese or meat. I love frittata and often make it at home. When I have a lot of eggs, I make a giant one for my outdoor grounds crew to enjoy with their coffee. Here, I am cooking the frozen Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. It took about two minutes per side – that’s it.
-
- Then I sliced them into quarters. And, because these patties are so quick and convenient to prepare, it makes a wonderful option for busy mornings.
-
- Next, I combined the cooked spinach, onions, the patties, and the egg mixture into an oven-proof baking dish.
-
- We provided printed recipe cards, so guests could make both dishes at home. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
-
- The frittata is baked until golden brown and then plated immediately.
-
- Here it is ready to serve with some fresh greens tossed with oil and vinegar. It makes a wonderful and healthy meal – for breakfast, brunch or any time of day.
-
- The second demo was Beyond Breakfast Sausage with Creamy Grits & Roasted Tomatoes. The grits are cooked in a medium saucepan with four cups of water until all the water is absorbed and the grits are smooth – about five to eight minutes. Next to it, I am cooking the spicy Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties – again over medium heat for two minutes per side.
-
- The grits should be stirred constantly and then once cooked, removed from the heat and seasoned with salt and pepper. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
-
- The grits are then plated with roasted tomatoes.
-
- And then served with the patties and fresh greens. The spicy variety includes some additional spices such as paprika to give it a little more kick.
-
- Beyond Breakfast Sausage & Grits with Roasted Tomatoes – another delicious plant-based option. Beyond Breakfast is complete with 11-grams of protein per serving, but with no cholesterol, nitrates, antibiotics or hormones. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
-
- Everyone enjoyed their meals – the sausages offer the delicious taste of traditional pork sausage with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meat, all packed into one easy-to-make meal option. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
-
- I encourage you to try Beyond Breakfast Sausage when both varieties hit grocery stores. I am sure you and your family will enjoy every bite. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
