We always enjoy a big breakfast on Sunday mornings. It’s nice to take the time to make a bountiful and beautiful one to linger over as a special treat. I am spoiled in that my husband always makes me breakfast during the week. As I‘m sure you probably do, we start our workdays eating breakfast in a rush, eager to get the day going. He serves me mine to eat while I’m putting on make-up and blow drying my hair. I take a bite and chew, hairbrush in hand, multi-tasking to try to save some time.
So this is all the more reason we truly enjoy our Sunday mornings! I know I’ve published my sausage recipe before but this one is a little different with the added shiitake mushroom. I LOVE mushrooms! My husband, not so much. However, I snuck this one in and he LOVED it!
Use just one very large shiitake mushroom.
One large mushroom chops up into a lot!
The mushroom did not add a deep mushroom-y flavor, but it did add a wonderful lightness that really made these Delicious Sunday Morning Breakfast Sausage Patties good enough to record, share and make again.
I hope you’ll try these – and remember it’s always better to know what is in the food you’re eating as opposed to buying store made sausage. That is why I do not mind taking the time to make these on a Sunday morning. They actually come together, very quickly and easily – takes about 20 minutes and then time to grill or sauté in a skillet.
You should also know that these reheat beautifully in the microwave for 30 seconds for that quick weekday breakfast. So leftovers are not a problem!

A September Sunday morning
I also try to sneak in some healthy ingredients when I cook. Those patties look scrumptious .
This looks like a delicious recipe.

Hi Mary Frances, I can see why your husband loves this breakfast, good idea to chop up the mushroom so small so not to be detected.

LOL – I actually didn’t think of that! I was just thinking that the patties are so small, everything had to be small but you’re right!!
I love your homemade sausage recipes. I really need to make that here because you cannot get that kind of thing readily here in HK. Sometimes you just an little extra special breakfast to get you through the day.

Exactly Bobbi!! But also, you want to know what you’re eating.
I like the sugared cranberries on top of your chocolate mousse!
A wonderful robust Sunday morning breakfast, I’m sure this will keep one out of the kitchen for hours…..loving the ingredients.
Yes Loretta!! We rarely have lunch on Sundays!
You are so lucky that your husband makes you breakfast on weekdays! These patties look so incredibly amazing and delicious, adding mushrooms inside sound like a wonderful idea!

I love our weekend breakfasts too, we almost always have waffles one day and eggs and sausage the next. Linger is the perfect word for them. I’ll have to make these soon they sound delicious 🙂

Mushrooms are a bit like anchovies — if they’re in a dish (and not in great quantity) you know something is going on in the background, but can’t quite put your finger on what flavor it is you’re tasting. Anyway, love homemade sausage — thanks for this.
