🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Sausages
🔹 Preheat your oven to 400°F.
🔹 Place the sausages on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
🔹 Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
2️⃣ Cook the Mushrooms
🔹 Heat 1 tbsp cooking fat in a pan over medium-high heat.
🔹 Add mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to allow them to brown.
🔹 Make a well in the center and add 1 tbsp cooking fat and shallots. Stir for a few seconds to coat the shallots.
🔹 Cook for 3-4 minutes until shallots soften.
🔹 Add red wine vinegar and coconut aminos, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
🔹 Lower the heat, then stir in 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and thyme leaves, and cook for another 3 minutes.
3️⃣ Massage the Kale

🔹 Season with salt, pepper, and the juice of ½ lemon.
4️⃣ Cook the Eggs
🔹 Once sausages and mushrooms are nearly done, cook the eggs to your liking.
🔹 Fry the eggs over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny.
5️⃣ Assemble the Bowl
🔹 In a bowl, place the massaged kale at the bottom.
🔹 Top with the mushrooms, sliced sausages, fried egg, and ½ avocado (sliced).
🔹 Season with a little extra salt & pepper to taste.
