Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
- 4 large eggs
- 8 romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as coconut or avocado)
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried sage. Mix until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the pork.
Step 2
Form the seasoned pork into 4 equal-sized patties.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sausage patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Once cooked, remove patties from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil.
Step 6
Crack the eggs into the skillet, and cook to your liking. For a sunny-side-up egg, cook for about 3 minutes or until the whites are set.
Step 7
To assemble each sandwich: Place one sausage patty onto a lettuce leaf, top with a cooked egg, slices of avocado, and tomato. Cover with another lettuce leaf.
Step 8
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, Paleo-friendly breakfast sandwich.
