Seitan ideas and tips needed

I'm not vegan, but I love seitan. I made myself a batch and am looking for breakfast/lunch ideas. My husband doesn't care for it much, and we eat dinner together, so I'm planning on incorporating it in a non-dinner capacity. This morning I warmed it in the toaster oven and ate it with peanut butter on top -- not bad!

In particular, I would love to figure out a way to turn it into breakfast sausage patties so I could bulk-make and freeze English muffin breakfast sandwiches. I've seen instructions online for turning it into sausage links at the cooking phase, but not patties. I'm not sure whether I could cook it in soup tins to make patties -- years ago, I used to make a soybean-based breakfast sausage doing that. Or if there's a way to take ground seitan and reconstitute it into patties.

I've seen two ways of making it: 1) simmering it directly in broth/water, and 2) wrapping it in foil and simmering/steaming it. I've always simmered it directly and it tends to puff WAY up ("explode" might be mroe accurate.) I am wondering how this works if you wrap it in foil -- does the foil keep it from exploding so much? Has anyone tried this? Hoping someone has more experience making and using it than I have.
