The Challenge: Everything Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich
For me, one of the hardest meals of the day to eat vegan is breakfast. Most breakfast foods are involving cheese, eggs, meat, or some kind of dairy. It has always been a struggle going to brunch or eating with a ton of variety. So, I have focused a lot of meals on making breakfast items vegan.
A popular breakfast item - the biscuit sandwich. Today, we are taking the egg, cheese, and sausage breakfast sandwich. But…of course we are going to kick it up a couple notches. Rather, than it being a regular biscuit we are going to make it an everything biscuit. This dish builds off my recent post for 25-Minute Everything Biscuits. Then, we are going to top it with vegan cheese, maple “sausage.” chipotle aioli, avocado, and tomato!
Our maple “sausage” is a delicious blend of mushrooms, lentils, and fresh herbs like thyme parsley, sage, and rosemary! We make a delicious sausage patty and fry it up. You can make a ton of these and freeze them up…yum, yum, yum!
From there, we layer on some delicious vegan cheese you’ll find in the ingredients, avocado slices, tomato slices, and a dairy-free chipotle aioli that we make with vegan mayo, chipotles in adobo sauce (if you haven’t used these, you need to start), and then we eat it!!!
Let’s just say this is one kick ass vegan breakfast sandwich that you will love to eat, and it will be a nice go to vegan dish you can have again and again.
Let's get into it!

Equipment You'll Need:
Mixing Bowls . Sharp Chopping Knife . Measuring Cups + Spoons . Cutting Board . Small Pot . Food Processor . Whisk . Large Frying Pan
Before You Cook:
Make sure to make Vegan Everything Biscuits (they only take 25 minutes and are considered in the total time to complete this recipe)
Wash and chop fresh ingredients
1. To start, put lentils into a medium pot with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes. Strain.
2. While lentils cook, add shallots + garlic to frying pan with 1 tbl of olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add mushrooms and all spices for the patties and cook another 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
3. Next, add all the sausage patty ingredients to a food processor. Pulse 10-12 times until well blended.
4. Next, form the mixture into 4 large sausage patties with your hands. If its feels very sticky, add some oat flour, cornstarch, or other flour. You should have a bit of residue on your hands but the patty should not be sticking to your hand. Add the patties back to the large frying pan with 1 tbl of olive oil. Cook over medium heat for ~4 minutes on each side until browned.
5. Next, whisk together the aioli ingredients into a sauce in a small mixing bowl.
6. Finally, form your biscuit sandwich! Add a layer of vegan cheese to the bottom with a sausage patty, tomato slice, avocado slices, and a healthy layer of chipotle aioli. ENJOY!
