For some reason, I wanted to make my own sausage patties. These Homemade Breakfast Sausage are easy to make.  I keep them in the freezer to use for my egg McMuffin breakfast sandwiches. I used fresh herbs because I have no dried. You could also make these using ground chicken or turkey.

  • Prep: 25 mins
  • Cook: 10 mins
  • Yields: 12 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork

1 tablespoon brown sugar

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

½ teaspoon dried sage

⅛ teaspoon marjoram

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

1Combine pork and all the ingredients in a large bowl. Gently mix with hands until well combined. Form mixture into 2½-inch patties, about ½-inch thick. (You should have 12 patties.)

2Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook half of patties until well browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and tent with foil. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with remaining butter and patties. Serve.

Tips

1A greased ¼-cup measure makes 12 patties the same size with a minimum of work and mess. Cover with plastic wrap, then use your palm to gently flatten each sausage patty.

Make ahead

1The raw sausage patties can be refrigerated, covered, for 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month. To cook frozen patties, proceed with step 2, cooking patties for 7 to 9 minutes per side.
