Breakfast Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined. Stir in the bread crumbs, shredded cheese, and crumbled sausage or bacon until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Nuggets

    Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully add the nuggets to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the cooked nuggets with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
