Ingredients
Ground Pork: Naturally fatty pork is extra juicy. You can even use pre-seasoned bulk ground pork if time is short.
Seasonings: Sage, thyme, and fennel add savory flavor to breakfast patties. Mix spice blend together in a small bowl before adding.
Variations
For a boost of nutrients add some diced bell peppers or zucchini but not too much or the patties won’t stick together. Mix it with other meats like ground turkey or chicken if desired. Rosemary, oregano, black pepper or red pepper flakes can be added. Homemade Italian or southwest seasoning blends give sausage breakfast patties a new twist every time.

Tip-Top Sausage Patties
- For the best texture, avoid packing the patties too much so they stay light and juicy.
- Blend the seasonings first before adding to the ground pork so they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
