Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pork.
- Using clean hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should be able to make around 8 patties with the given amount of ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or cooking spray. Place the sausage patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the sausage patties hot with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, avocado, or sautéed vegetables. Enjoy!
