  • Plant Based Breakfast Sandwiches | Flavor and Spirit

    Veggie Breakfast Sandwich ABOUT ME Most people just don't realize what products are available to replace things like egg and cheese. Below you will find products and where to find them, to help make your transition easier! Types of bread: ​ Toasted Sliced Bread English Muffin Croissant Biscuit Flatbread Protein Fillings: ​ Egg Sausage Ham Bacon Cheese ​ Protein Replacements: ​ 'Just Egg' Egg Replacement Ozo or Beyond Sausage Patties (or links, if you prefer) Tofurkey or Field Roast Sweet Earth or SmartLife Veggie Bacon There are so many Plant-Based Cheese, here are our top favorites -Kroger/Fred Meyer 'Simple Truth' Brand is our #` favorite sliced cheese, hands down! -Miyokos Creamery Farmhouse Cheddar slices -Field Roast Vegan Chao Slices Creamy Original ​ We usually make 6 or 12 at a time and cook half the sausage with the d bread on the same tray, which can be a bit messy if you don't cook them both fully. ..but cooking it to the point it becomes crispy makes it so flavorful! English Muffins are the best for this, and perfect to use for an easy-to-eat for all of you breakfast-on-the-go type eaters. Cooking your egg and half your sausage patties on one pan and the remaining sausage with the bread on the other also fits perfectly into most standard baking sheets! ***Remember***These are all processed, just like the meat and dairy products they are replacing.... they are filling! We are confident you will love these so much that you'll want to make a bunch at once and even eat them for snacks, but still be mindful of overdoing it. There is a common misconception that you can endlessly indulge in plant alternative food, but while it is a much healthier alternative...balance is still the key to maximizing the benefits of a plant diet. ​ ​
