APPLE SAGE SAUSAGE WITH CARAMELIZED CREAM SAUCE

This is a fabulous recipe to add to your Christmas Holiday Breakfast menu!  It’s incredibly versatile, and the components can be prepared ahead of time to allow you to assemble the dish Christmas morning.

The basis of this delicious recipe is my Apple Sage Breakfast Sausage Patties! These savory pork sausages are studded with tart granny smith apples, red bell pepper and sweet Vidalia onions.

For Christmas, I left some of the green apple peel on to give the patties some “red and green” specks.  It really gives them a festive, holiday feel.  With the addition of lots of  fresh sage to complement the pork and apples, these sausages are full-flavored and luscious.
