Best Maple Sausage Breakfast Ring Recipes

MAPLE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Mix pork, maple syrup, sage, salt, fennel seed, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and anise seed in a large bowl until evenly blended. Shape pork into small patties.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry patties in batches until pork is browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

MAPLE SYRUP BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Seasoning: Using a spice grinder, grind the peppercorns with the sage, ginger, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. (If not using a spice grinder, simply mix the ground pepper with the spices in a small bowl.)
• Mix together ground pork, seasoning mixture, salt, and maple syrup. Let rest in the refrigerator for one hour or overnight.
• Make small patties by scooping the sausage onto a hot skillet and flattening it with a spatula. Cook over medium high heat on a skillet until brown.

BREAKFAST CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet and bake until just golden brown and crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
• Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off the bacon drippings and reserve 2 tablespoons. Add 1 tablespoon of the drippings and the sausage to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Cook, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and brown in some spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Return the skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of bacon drippings. Once hot and shimmering, add the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, with a rubber spatula, until soft and fluffy and almost completely cooked through but still a bit runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean large bowl.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the egg mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Sprinkle the sausage on top of the eggs then sprinkle the bacon over the sausage. Cover the bacon with the American and Cheddar cheese. Top with the potato tots and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely but should cover the tater tots). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the filling).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with maple syrup, ketchup, hot sauce or white gravy if desired.

MAPLE SAUSAGE BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the frozen tater tots on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Place the sausages on a sheet pan and bake for 5 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a second large skillet. Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set.
• To assemble the burritos, stack the tortillas on a paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Place a heaping spoonful of egg mixture onto the middle of a warm tortilla, top with a little caramelized onions, 1 sausage link, 3 tater tots, a little salsa, and about 2 tablespoons cheese per burrito. (You can also leave some without cheese if preferred.) Tuck in the sides and roll the tortilla closed. Wrap in a foil sheet. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Keep warm in the oven in foil pans until ready to serve. Serve with salsa and the hot sauces.
