Lentil and Mushroom Sausage Patties

These hearty, flavorful patties are perfect for any meal of the day. Packed with protein and fiber, they offer a delicious way to enjoy a meat-free option that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
I love making these patties on weekends when we have a bit more time to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or brunch. They’re fantastic on their own, or served alongside scrambled tofu or a fresh salad.
