Low carb and Whole30 breakfast pork sausage recipe is so deliciously crispy! It’s perfect if you are looking for an AIP breakfast idea that’s healthy and egg-free.

Every time I cook for my mom, I have to be mindful to not use certain ingredients like eggs and nightshades. She has rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune diseases, and cutting out certain food groups has helped reduce her symptoms so much!
AIP Breakfast Pork Sausage Recipe
This is one of the pork sausage recipes I made that my mom couldn’t stop raving about. Not only is it a great AIP breakfast recipe if you are avoiding eggs, it’s easy to make and so flavorful. The combination of the spices complement each other well, and it’s so perfect served with some cooked vegetables.
Perfect Texture
The texture is the best part about these breakfast pork sausage: crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. I honestly didn’t miss the eggs, which is what I would normally add to a breakfast sausage. The sausage patties alone are hearty and filling enough, and it’s a keto and Whole30 breakfast recipe that high is protein and healthy fats!
Is This Breakfast Sausage Freezable?
Yes! In fact, it freezes really well and still tastes great after you defrost and cook them. Here’s how I freeze this pork sausage recipe, and this can be done with either raw or cooked patties:
- Place in a single layer on tray or a plate and make sure they are not touching other.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Transfer to a resealable freezer bag or container to continuously store in the freezer.
- Remove from the freezer at least a few hours before you plan to eat them and defrost in the refrigerator.
- Reheat or cook the patties by pan-frying them again!
If you are looking for an egg-free breakfast or you are on your own AIP journey, I highly recommend this breakfast pork sausage. It’s seriously so yummy and filling!

I don’t normally leave reviews but I’ve made these twice now!! They were a lifesaver as I’ve started AIP. They are so delicious and get that caramel-brown crust on the outside. I store them in the freezer and just microwave for a minute before eating, or throw them into an AIP breakfast hash. Thanks!!!
Amazing. I’m so happy it’s helping you with your AIP journey! Thank you so much for leaving a review.
I made this recipe this morning for breakfast. Absolutely delicious! I used dried sage as I did not have fresh., and about half the garlic. It is just right, a wonderful blend of flavors. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
