Homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties

By ezunich

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground pork
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tsp ground sage
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Combine pork, brown sugar, garlic, sage, salt, fennel seeds, pepper flakes, and nutmeg in a bowl. Divide sausage mixture in half and shape each half into a log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill until slightly firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Unwrap logs and slice into twelve patties, reshaping as necessary. Fry sausages in a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick spray over medium-high heat until cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer sausages to a papertowel-lined plate.
