Instructions
- Cook the Sausages: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages until they are browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Mustard Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and let it melt. Then, stir in the mustard and whisk until combined. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Alfalfa Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the alfalfa sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve: Slice the sausages and arrange them on plates. Drizzle the mustard butter sauce over the sausages. Serve the alfalfa salad on the side.
