Healthy Breakfast Sausage Patty Recipe
- Start the day with a homemade breakfast that’s protein-packed and full of nutrition with a spice level to your liking!
- Making homemade breakfast sausages from scratch is far more cost-effective than pre-made Jimmy Dean or store brands and you can freeze them in portions to use whenever you want!
- Cook up an extra batch of sausage patties and reheat in minutes in the microwave or Air Fryer all week long!
- This recipe can also be made as a crumbled version and added to omelets, egg bites, casseroles, and soups.
Breakfast Sausage Patty Ingredients
Pork – Pork is high in tasty fats so it’s especially juicy, but you could add ground beef, chicken, or turkey to the recipe if you like. Pre-seasoned ground pork like Italian mild or spicy will also work.
Seasonings – Dried sage, crushed fennel seeds, garlic, and thyme give breakfast patties a rich savory flavor. Add some red pepper flakes, parsley, or rosemary for more depth of flavor.
Time Saving Tip!
Double up the seasoning blend and store it in the pantry for other savory recipes like frittatas, and lettuce wraps!
Variations – Omit the seasonings entirely for a ready-made Italian blend or a zesty taco seasoning mix, if you like. Add more nutritional content and mix in some shredded zucchini, sweet potato, finely chopped broccoli, ground flax seeds, or chia seeds.
How to Make Breakfast Sausage Patties
- Combine the ground pork with the seasonings in a large bowl (per the recipe below).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
- Create 6 equally sized patties and fry in olive oil until crispy brown on both sides and cooked through. Serve hot.
In the Air Fryer:
- Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F.
- Cook patties in a single layer, flipping over about 5 minutes and cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Cook until they reach 160°F and have a crispy exterior.
Serving and Storing Breakfast Sausage Patties
Serve breakfast sausage patties with a side of scrambled eggs, melt some cheese on them, and make a breakfast sandwich with some cloud bread, or chop them up with scrambled eggs and tuck them into a low-carb wrap for an energizing portable breakfast or lunch!
Keep extra breakfast sausage patties in a zippered bag in the fridge for about a week or freeze them for up to two months.
Tips for Success!
- It’s easier to blend the seasonings before blending in with the sausage.
- Be sure to chill the sausage mixture for two hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend thoroughly.
- Cook one patty to decide if the flavor is to your liking before cooking the remaining patties.
