Salsa Verde Breakfast Bratwursts

Bratwurst sausages are nestled into toasted buns before being covered with an over easy egg just waiting to spill it’s yolk.  Slices of fresh jalapeno and chopped cilantro are sprinkled on top of these Salsa Verde Breakfast Bratwrusts and breakfast – or whatever meal you’d like to serve them for! – is served.  

Have you looked at your calendar recently?  Labor Day is next week.  NEXT WEEK.  It’s official now, summer is bidding us a fond farewell and autumn is about to take up residence.  Le sigh.  Those lazy summer afternoons at the grill might be over thanks to the now chaotic schedule of school and making sure everyone is where they need to be, but I’ve come up with a recipe that will keep you grilling through the cooler months.  With so many cuts and preparation methods to try and endless flavor combinations to explore, pork is the must-have this grilling season.   I’m thinking these Salsa Verde Breakfast Bratwursts would be an amazing tailgate option before a football game.  Or really anytime, I’m not one to ever turn down a brat!

And not just any brat will do – it has to be a Johnsonville!  Living in Wisconsin, I quickly learned that they were the absolute best.  Johnsonville brats are made with premium cuts of pork and a proprietary blend of spice.  They also happen to be gluten free.  You can find a full assortment of Johnsonville brats at your local Walmart, my favorite are their Original Brats which I used for this recipe.

Bratwurst sausages are nestled into toasted buns before being covered with an over easy egg just waiting to spill it’s yolk.  Slices of fresh jalapeno and chopped cilantro are sprinkled on top and breakfast – or whatever meal you’d like to serve them for! – is served.  This might be the only time that a fork is called for with a brat as because of the runny yolk factor, these tend to be a bit messy.  Messy, but oh so delicious!
