Ingredients
  

  • 2 breakfast sausages organic and nitrate-free, if possible
  • 4 eggs pasture-raised or organic, if possible
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup raw sauerkraut
  • 1½ cup mixed greens

Instructions
 

  • Cook the sausages: If using pre-cooked sausages, simply heat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. If uncooked, cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.
  • Prepare the eggs: In the same skillet or a separate pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Cook the eggs to your liking—scrambled, sunny-side up, or over-easy.
  • Assemble the plate: Serve the cooked sausages and eggs alongside raw sauerkraut and fresh mixed greens for a well-rounded, nourishing meal.

Notes

Recipe Notes:

  1. Use Raw Sauerkraut: Always choose unpasteurized, raw sauerkraut from the refrigerated section to preserve live probiotics. Avoid cooking it—heat destroys the gut-friendly bacteria.
  2. Choose Quality Sausage: Opt for nitrate-free, organic sausages made from grass-fed beef or organic chicken. Avoid flavored sausages with hidden sugars or fillers.
  3. Add Leafy Greens: Don’t skip the greens! Spinach, kale, or arugula add fiber, antioxidants, and a fresh contrast to the rich sausage and eggs.
  4. Coconut Oil Boost: Use coconut oil for frying to promote digestion and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. It adds a subtle nutty flavor, too.
  5. Kid-Friendly Tip: Use milder sausage and serve with scrambled eggs for a more approachable version for little ones.
  6. Meal Prep-Friendly: Cook sausages and hard-boiled eggs in bulk to save time during the week. Store raw sauerkraut in its brine in a glass jar.
  7. Serving Variations: Try it with kimchi, avocado, fermented hot sauce, or swap sausage for turkey or plant-based alternatives.
  8. Low-Carb & Keto-Friendly: This breakfast is naturally low in carbs and sugar, making it great for blood sugar balance and sustained energy.
  9. Avoid These Mistakes: Don’t overcook the eggs—soft yolks keep them moist. And never microwave sauerkraut—it destroys probiotics
