Sheet Pan Eggs with Pecan Breakfast "Sausage"
This vegetarian version uses seasoned ground pecans as a nutritious plant-based option for "meat." Simply add eggs and spinach for a simple breakfast dish that can be prepped ahead, feeds a crowd and requires minimal clean-up.
Ingredients
- Pecan Breakfast Sausage
- 1 cup raw pecan halves (or lightly toasted)
- 1 teaspoon pecan oil or extra virgin olive oil
