It's easy to make homemade breakfast sausage patties, and the result is juicy and flavorful. This delicious recipe contains no added sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground pork (85% lean)
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, use your hands to mix the ground pork and the spices. Shape the mixture into eight balls, then press on each ball to form patties, 2 oz each, 1/2-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Gently press your thumb into the middle of each patty to create a shallow dimple. This helps the patties hold their shape while they cook.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large (14-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Swirl to coat.

  4. 4

    Place the patties on the skillet (you might need to cook them in two batches). Cook them until they are browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Their internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. To check with a thermometer, insert the thermometer sideways into the patty, pushing it into the middle.
