This vegan breakfast sandwich is a gorgeously green spin on your usual morning meal. This "Shamrock" Breakfast Sandwich is loaded with kale, pepitas and a flavorful veggie sausage patty.

Green Goodness

This recipe was created right after the 'spring forward' time change. I was still feeling the 'spring forward' groggies and was craving something hearty, savory, delicious and healthy. So I put a green spin on my usual savory breakfast meal.

I turned on the stove and as soon as that sizzle from the pan kicked in and yummy smells started wafting, I knew I was in business. This Shamrock Breakfast Sandwich is spicy, toasty, green and peppery. Perfect power-fuel for your busy day.

Add a green juice is you'd like

Green your AM. Via a breakfast sandwich.

Creamy chipotle jalapeno sauce drizzles and melts over top tender avocado, a pepper-chipotle spiced vegan sausage patty, buttery pan-toasted pepitas. All on a toasted English muffin. This is a greens-loaded sandwich to start your day.

Which Vegan Sausage to Use?

  • GimmeLean - this option is great because you can decide the shape, size and thickness of the patty. This is the brand I used in the photos of this recipe.
  • Gardein - My go-to brand for ease. You can even microwave them when you are in a hurry.
  • 365 brand from Whole Foods
  • ...Honestly guys, there are SO many options these days. Browse the freezer section of Whole Foods or your fave natural foods (or mainstream!) grocery store.

If you loved my Jack-o-Pumpkin Breakfast Sandwich for fall, you will love this Shamrock Sandwich for spring! Side of green juice.

Kale-Loaded.

Add as much kale as you can cram onto your english muffin! It will be wilted from the skillet - all the hot oil and salt and peppery spices soaking into the hearty green leaves.
