Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Breakfast Sausage Stack with Egg

1. Begin by shaping the breakfast sausage into 8 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season the patties with black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
3. While the sausage is cooking, prepare the eggs. In another skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry them sunny-side up, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
4. Once the sausage patties are cooked, stack two or three patties on a plate, depending on how hearty you want your stack to be.
5. Top the sausage stack with a fried egg and drizzle the barbecue sauce over the top. For an extra touch, squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish for brightness.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sausage mixture.
• Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the sausage to achieve a nice sear.
• If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, feel free to scramble them or make them over-easy instead.

Easy Variations

• Swap the barbecue sauce for sriracha or a spicy ketchup for a different flavor profile.
• Add cheese on top of the egg for a melty addition.
• Incorporate sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions into the sausage mixture for added nutrition and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy hash browns or home fries.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Toast or biscuits for a more traditional breakfast spread.
