Here’s a clean, no-nonsense recipe that recreates exactly what you’ve got going on, with good timing so everything lands hot.
Deer & Smoked Sausage Breakfast Plate
(with Eggs, Cheese, Mushrooms, Carrots & Avocado)
Ingredients (1 big plate / 2 lighter servings)
Proteins
-
2–3 deer sausages (or venison breakfast sausage patties)
-
2 smoked sausages (kielbasa / andouille / beef or pork)
-
4–6 eggs
-
¼–½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby-jack, or mozzarella)
Sides
-
1 cup baby carrots
-
½–1 avocado, sliced
-
1–1½ cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
Fats & Seasoning
-
Butter, bacon fat, or tallow
-
Salt & black pepper
Step-by-Step
1. Cook the Sausages
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add a little fat.
-
Brown deer sausage first (they’re leaner):
-
Cook slowly, turning often so they don’t dry out.
-
-
Add smoked sausage:
-
Let them blister and caramelize.
-
-
Remove sausages, tent loosely with foil.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
-
Same pan, don’t clean it (flavor lives here).
-
Add a bit more butter/fat.
-
Toss in mushrooms with a pinch of salt.
-
Cook until:
-
Water releases
-
Then evaporates
-
Then edges turn golden and meaty
-
-
Slide mushrooms to the side of the pan.
3. Eggs, Cheese & Sausage Scramble
-
Lower heat to medium-low.
-
Crack eggs directly into pan (or whisk first).
-
Gently scramble.
-
Sprinkle in:
-
Shredded cheese
-
A few chopped bits of deer sausage (optional, like your plate)
-
-
Stir slowly until just set and creamy.
Pull early—eggs finish cooking on the plate.
4. Quick Carrots
-
Serve raw (crunchy contrast like your photo), or
-
Steam/microwave 2–3 minutes with a pinch of salt and butter.
5. Plate It Up
-
Eggs & cheesy sausage in the center
-
Deer sausage + smoked sausage on the side
-
Mushrooms tucked in
-
Carrots for crunch
-
Avocado slices last (salt lightly)
Optional Tweaks
-
Higher fat: drizzle melted butter over eggs or sausages
-
Spice: cracked black pepper or red pepper flakes
-
Extra venison flavor: finish deer sausage with a splash of bone broth in the pan
If you want, I can:
-
Turn this into a meal-prep version
-
Make it strict carnivore
-
Or optimize it for cutting vs bulking
Just say the word 🥩🥚🔥
