For the Sausage Patties:

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

How to Make Breakfast Sausage Patties
Instructions :
- Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Add cold water to help bind the mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough.
- Shape the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 1/2-inch thick.
- Cook the Patties:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a little oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F / 71°C).
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides, or cool and store for later use.
Notes :
- Substitutions:
- Replace ground pork with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a sweet twist.
- Make Ahead:
- Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Variations:
- Add finely chopped fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for added freshness.
- Increase or decrease spices to match your flavor preference.
