Best-Ever Breakfast Veggie Burger Recipe
Why limit yourself to only breakfast foods for your first meal of the day? Frozen or refrigerated pre-made vegetable burgers are a convenient solution to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, especially if you're trying to find satisfying and filling plant-based meals.
When choosing a frozen veggie burger, always take a look at the ingredients. Field Roast has a solid burger option that's made from barley, carrots, celery, and mushrooms, and it has 25 grams of protein. This burger doesn't rely on a grill to make it good, either. All you need is a cast-iron skillet to impart some of that seared texture and flavor you love in a burger.
Go bunless (and low-carb) by nestling your veggie patty on a thick and juicy tomato slice instead of bread, and then serve it alongside onions and avocado. You can also top your breakfast with a runny sunny-side-up egg for a savory flavor. With a runny yolk, you can skip condiments, too. Opting for a quality animal product like an egg instead of processed sauces with added sugars goes a long way when you're trying to eat clean. For an extra green crunch, you can even sprinkle this California-inspired burger with sprouts.
Topped with an egg, this veggie burger is ideal for breakfast, and it's packed with enough plant-based protein from the veggie burger and the avocado to also be a lunch and dinner option, too.
