We love to meal prep this chicken apple sausage pattie recipe on the weekend or at the start of the week. That way we have quick and easy protein-packed breakfasts on hand during the week. Two of these chicken apple sausage patties with a fried egg and some sautéed spinach is a delicious and filling breakfast. These chicken breakfast patties are also a great egg free savoury breakfast option too.
Savoury breakfasts without eggs
We quite often get asked for breakfast ideas that are protein-packed but do not contain eggs. Some people are intolerant or allergic to eggs or just don’t like them. These chicken apple sausage patties are a perfect egg free breakfast! You can eat them as is, with some sautéed veggies like mushrooms, spinach etc or even on a wrap or sandwich.
The best part is there are only a few ingredients in this chicken apple sausage pattie recipe, the chicken mince, grated apple and some seasoning.
Egg free Protein-packed breakfasts
As we mentioned, these chicken apple sausage patties are a great option for someone looking for a protein-packed breakfast that is egg free. Some other ingredients you can include in your breakfast to add protein without eggs is Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, other sausages or meats like bacon, prosciutto, ham etc.

I love these Chicken Patties, the Apple certainly gives it a lovely nurturing flavour.
I keep them in the freezer all the time, great to have one available if I feel like a protein snack.
I have used Turkey Mince also which is perfect.
