The Freezer Meal Frenzy team loves a good savory breakfast. Unfortunately, since some of our staffers are vegetarian, they have to avoid certain breakfast favorites. Thankfully, we’re always finding new plant-based breakfast items in our freezer aisle. The Beyond Meat Classic Beyond Breakfast Sausage patties are packed with protein and can inject some meaty flavor into a meatless breakfast.
One box contains six plant-based patties, which aren’t individually sealed in any sort of plastic – they’re just sort of floating around in the box (which is sealed, thankfully). The patties are a pale, sickly-looking brown when they come out of the freezer, but after a few minutes on the stove, they look a lot more appetizing. Beyond says that these patties take about 4 minutes to cook, but we’d say it was six minutes before our sausages were ready to eat.
Unless they’re tucked away in a breakfast sandwich, these meatless sausages won’t be fooling any carnivores. At a glance, it’s easy to see that they don’t contain meat. The texture and flavor reminds us of Beyond Meat’s burger patties, which are juicy, meaty, and pretty freaking tasty. In fact, we’d say these taste less like sausage and more like baby burger patties, though we still think they’d be great on an English muffin with some egg.
If you’re excited about making meatless breakfast sammies, you should be aware that a single sausage isn’t big enough for a standard-sized english muffin. You could probably fit two of these sausages on a sandwich, but it would be a little awkward.
Thankfully, these lightly seasoned sausages are tasty even when they’re eaten plain. We think these would taste great in a breakfast hash, and they’d be delicious with ketchup, sriracha, or your favorite hot sauce.
The Beyond Meat Classic Beyond Breakfast Sausage are a great options for fans of Beyond Burger’s vegetarian-friendly proteins. While we personally prefer the spicy version of these sausages, the plain classic version is still delicious. If you’re sick of dry meatless breakfast sausage, and you’re looking for something juicy, this product is a great buy.
