What are Breakfast Sausages?

Our Breakfast Sausages are round flat Pork Burgers / Patties (113g).

Created from quality Pork cuts combined with a simple seasoning, essentially skinless flat sausages that are quick & easy to cook.

How do we make Breakfast Sausages?

To create our own Breakfast Sausages we first select the meat; we only use best Pork Shoulder Cuts because these have the coarse fibres & best flavour. We then choose the fat (for added flavour & helping blend the mix) from the back of the loin because this is a consistent pure fat that has no gristle. The seasoning of choice is a Traditional Simple Recipe of Black Pepper & Sea Salt that brings out the flavour of the Pork cuts.

All the pork & fat cuts are chilled to only 2-3°c before cutting or mincing. The low temperatures reduces the loss of natural moisture from the meat & lowers any bacteria growth. This is important to make safer, more flavoursome sausage patties before packing.

The Pork Shoulder muscles are trimmed & de-gristled before placing into the mixer, a percentage of the pure Pork Back Fat is added next & then this is all minced (ground) up. The minced Pork & Fat is placed into the mixer a second time where the seasonings are added. The meat & seasonings are then blended until the correct consistency is achieved. The blend of meat & seasonings are then minced for a second time, the mix is ready for portioning.

A Breakfast Sausage is approx 113g; our expert butchers weigh 113g portions of the seasoned Sausage Mix & these are pressed into 8 cm diameter round patties.

How are our Pork Breakfast Sausages packed?

We pack our Breakfast Sausages 3 pieces per pack.

We pack our Breakfast Sausages by hand immediately after they are formed into the round Pork Burgers / Patties. They are placed onto clear recyclable plastic trays, then vacuum sealed, keeping all the natural flavour & moisture in the sausage meat. The freshly packed Breakfast Sausages are then labelled & boxed up, placed onto pallets & placed into the chillers overnight to “Set Up”. 

Leaving the Breakfast Sausages overnight to Set Up gives the seasonings time to infuse with the meat, creating a more even flavour throughout the Sausage. The Sausages are then placed into a blast freezer & frozen to -25°c to keep them in perfect condition. The main benefit of freezing meat very quickly is to keep the meat perfectly preserved as if it had just been made.

The meat keeps its texture & flavour for 2 years when stored at -18°c; great when you can keep these at home to use whenever you want a quick tasty meal.

Please see this link about The benefits & Blast Freezing explained.

The packaging protects the Breakfast Sausages from freezer burn, any cross contamination from other foodstuffs when kept chilled at home. The bags preserve the natural meat juices so the Sausages have all of their flavour & moisture when cooking. The bags stop the meat from drying out when bringing up to room temperature before cooking.

All our production facilities are BRCGS / IFS approved  that make any of our meat cuts or products. All refrigerated air is filtered in production rooms, the butchers & packing staff wear fully protective clothing, these precautions reduce natural bacteria. Operated with the highest hygiene & temperature controls to ensure you enjoy the same taste & texture from any Breakfast Sausage.

The Clear Recyclable Pouches we use are now stronger & thinner than before, this reduces our annual plastic use & the amount of packaging per portion. The clear recyclable packs are made using thinner, stronger materials to help reduce our Carbon Footprint for a Greener Future. We encourage all our customers to recycle responsibly & place any packing into the recycle bins.

Please see this link on How to recycle plastic. We all need to do our best for a Greener future #swf_recycle♻

How do you cook Breakfast Sausages?

You can cook Breakfast Sausages in the Pan, an Air Fryer or on the Barbecue in just a few minutes. The ready made Pork Breakfast Burgers / Sausages are a quick simple solution for a delicious meal. IMPORTANT; please ensure that the meat juices run clear or the internal temperature of the meat is a minimum of 75°c before serving.

How to prepare Breakfast Sausages before cooking;

• Place frozen Breakfast Sausages in chiller to thaw slowly.
• Remove from chiller (keep in packaging) & leave in ambient temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
• Remove from packaging & pat dry with paper towel.
• Using your thumb; make an indentation in the middle of the patty to prevent it rising in the middle when cooking.

How to cook your Breakfast Sausages;

In the Pan or Skillet;

• Heat the pan over a medium heat.
• Drizzle a small amount of Olive Oil in the pan.
• Place the Breakfast Sausage gently away from you into the pan (helps prevent any oil spitting towards you).
• Cook for a few minutes each side until they turn white inside, the juices run clear or internal temp of 75°c has been reached.

In the Air Fryer;

• Set Air Fryer temperature to 190°c.
• Spray a light coating of vegetable oil into the basket.
• Place the Breakfast Sausages evenly spaced into the basket.
• Cook for 7-8 minutes, you may wish to turn the patties half way through & check for internal doneness.
• Always ensure the Patties are thoroughly cooked inside.

On the Barbecue;

• Place the Breakfast Sausages on the grill over direct heat for Hot & Fast, indirect heat for a longer cook for a more Smokey flavour.
• Cook for a few minutes each side (direct heat) checking they do not burn
• Cook for 10 minutes each side at a lower heat (indirect heat) finish over direct heat to Brown them off.
• Always ensure the Patties are thoroughly cooked inside.

The Breakfast Sausages have been created to be a simple Patty to cook giving moist results every time, just use the Pro Tip to get these results.

PRO TIP: Remove your Breakfast Sausages from the Pan, Air Fryer or Barbecue just before they are finished cooking & rest them on a wooden board, covered over with a Tea Towel for 5 minutes. Reason for resting; they will finish cooking & the meat fibres will relax, absorbing their natural juices back into the meat for a more tender, juicer result!
