Grilled chicken apple sausage

This is my favorite brunch dish in Cafe Brioche

At a Friday night, I suggested to cook something light. I said how about trying the grilled chicken apple sausage dish from Cafe Brioche? Totof and I like this dish. I order it almost every time when I have a brunch at Cafe Brioche. This dish is tasty. When it is served, you can smell something really good. This dish always comes with a slice of brioche. The brioche (see the photo) balances the dish well.

Totof said why not. So we took off for ingredients. We shopped based on our memory. We took a bag of apple chicken sausage. The small package. A red bell pepper. Some baby Spinach.

Ingredients

1. Chicken apple sausage
2. A onion
3. A bell pepper (yellow or red)
4. Baby Spinach (for 2 people)
5. Heavy cream
6. Unsalted butter
7. Bread (brioche will be the best)

We did not have a grill pan. We used a normal pan instead. Chef Totof sliced a medium size onion and chop a half of the red bell pepper. He put a tablespoon butter in the pan. Put onion slices and bell pepper slices in the pan. Cooked until golden brown. Then took them out.

The second step was to cook chicken apple sausage. This one took some time. Around 15 min. Put onion and bell pepper slices back when the sausage was half cooked. Then cut each sausage into 2. The sausage juice gave onions and bell peppers another flavor.

When the sausage was almost ready, got another pan out. This pan was for Spinach. Sliced some butter. Put the Spinach. Spinach took 2 min to cook. When the Spinach was half ready, poured 3 tablespoons heavy cream on top of the Spinach.
I sliced the bread and put the bread on the side.

When Chef Totof was done with cooking, we placed everything. The chicken apple sausage on the left, the cream Spinach on the right. The smell was just like what we remembered. It turned out this dish was as great as that from Cafe Brioche.

The preparation and cooking time was less than 30 min. The outcome was delicious.
