If your family loves the MorningStar Farms Original Breakfast Patties, here is the recipe for you. Make a double batch and freeze some for later. Reheat the frozen patties by frying them in a little oil and turning them frequently, until hot inside and crispy on the outside.
Makes 6 medium breakfast patties.
Ingredients:
- 1 c TSP (textured soy protein)
- 1/2 c hot water
- 1/4 c vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/3 c instant potato flakes (potato buds)
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 Tbsp gluten flour (vital wheat gluten)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground sage
- 1/2 tsp ground thyme
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2-3/4 tsp coarse black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the TSP, hot water and vegetable oil. Allow to stand 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until slightly frothy. Add to TSP mixture. Stir in the soy sauce.
- Blend the remaining ingredients and add them to the TSP mixture. Blend well.
- Use an oiled 2.5-inch patty press to form (6) 1/4 cup patties or form them with your hands.
- Preheat griddle or fry pan to medium high or 400 degrees F. and oil lightly. Grill the patties for a total of about 10 minutes, flipping over every 2 minutes until cooked through and well browned. Serve hot.

Can you leave out the egg white or substitute?

I apologize for taking so long to answer your question! I am still not used to the new layout on the site.
I have never tried the recipe without egg whites. I can recommend another sausage patty recipe I have called Oatmeal Sausage Patties: https://vegetarianunderground.com/article/miscellaneous-and-basic-recipes/oatmeal-sausage-patties

You can substitute the juice of 1 15oz can of garbanzo beans for 3 egg whites. It’s also know as aquafaba. It resembles egg whites so much it can even be whipped up into meringues.

Thank you, Rachel. That’s a great idea, and I will give it a try.

I have made these twice now. Thank you so much for the recipe. I used 2 whole eggs and bread flour and sausage seasoning since I didn’t want to waste the yolks, didn’t want to pay for vital gluten and didn’t have sage. A few substitutes but they worked. Thank you for your work in figuring out this recipe.

Hello
I made these exactly following the recipe. They are delicious, my husband loves them. Is there a way to make the color browner? Then they will be exactly like Morningstar sausages! Thank you for this!SallyKJanuary 30, 2023 at 5:32 pm

Thank you for your kind feedback on this recipe! Perhaps you could get a richer color by adding a bit of butter to the oil when frying them. Also, you could try using a browner TVP such as the faux beef flavored version, though that may affect the flavor somewhat. Another thing I would try it to just add a 1/2 tsp or so of a browning sauce such as Kitchen Bouquet. Lastly, you might try a dark soy sauce or add a bit more of the regular soy sauce, eliminating the salt. Good luck, and please let me know if you find a way to get the richer color.

I really like the recipe a lot but as weird as this is going to sound, I am missing that slightly springy/rubbery quality I want in a sausage. I have made these a couple times with a few tweaks (doubled the wheat gluten, added an extra egg white) but still haven’t quite achieved that texture. Any thoughts on achieving this?

I am glad you like the recipe, and you have tried to personalize it. To get the chewy, springy texture you are looking for, you could try adding a tablespoon of chia seeds to the hot water in step one of the directions. Let me know if this helps.
