Meatless Sausage Patties

Not a drop of meat, so think of all the calories you are saving.  Now, I did use flour, an egg and bread crumbs to bind it together, but surely it is still has less calories.  At least I hope so.

I got the idea from my daughter.  She makes her toddler veggie patties and I tried one.  Not bad, and then my mind started working...why not spice them up like sausage.  I have no recipe for this, but here is the general idea. (More fun to make it up as you go.)

I had on hand:

broccoli
squash
green pepper

I used the food processor to finely chop the veggies, then added flour, one egg, and some bread crumbs. You want it thick enough to hold it's shape.  I guess I used about 1/4 cup flour.

For the seasoning, I added red pepper, pepper, garlic salt, poultry seasoning---a pretty heavy hand on the poultry seasoning.  I did not have just sage.

I used just a little olive oil in my skillet and dropped in about 1 Tablespoon and then flattened it some.  Browned well and then flipped and browned on the other side.

So I made a sandwich:  toasted buns, one patty with one egg topping egg with  1/2 slice melting cheese for brunch.  Hubby ate it knowing what it was...next time I can put two patties on his...his request.
Below is the link to the recipe my daughter used for her toddler. That will give you an idea of proportions used.
Oh, I might add---nothing surprising to chew on in these patties--you know what I mean?  And they were delicious.
