Ingredients :

For the Sausage Patties:

• 1 pound ground pork (or a mix of pork and beef)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
• 2 tablespoons cold water

How to Make Breakfast Sausage Patties

Instructions :

1. 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.
2. Mix Thoroughly:
   • Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough.
3. Shape the Patties:
   • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 1/2-inch thick.
4. 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).
5. 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.
