Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 8 large Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine ground pork with garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, crack eggs and cook them to your desired doneness. You can do this one at a time if needed. Set aside when done.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, and add lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich: Lay two large lettuce leaves on a plate to use as the 'bun'.
Step 7
Spread a quarter of the avocado mash on the bottom lettuce leaf, place one sausage patty on top, then an egg, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and a tomato slice. Cover with another lettuce leaf.
Step 8
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Sausage Egg and Cheese (Lettuce Wrapped) Sandwich!
