House Maple Sausage

Applewood Smoked Bacon

Gnocchi and Spinach

Sunny Side Eggs

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Sausage and Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the maple sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the applewood smoked bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Cooking Gnocchi and Spinach

  1. 3

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Spinach

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, add the fresh spinach. Cook over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Cooking Eggs

  1. 5

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Combining and Serving

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the sautéed spinach, add the cooked gnocchi, maple sausage, and crispy bacon. Toss to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Divide the gnocchi mixture onto plates. Top each serving with a sunny-side-up egg, a generous sprinkle of shaved Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives.
