Breakfast Sausage Patties
Homemade seasoned pork sausage patties, pan-fried until golden - a touch of brown sugar alongside the sage and pepper is what gives real breakfast sausage its sweet-savory balance, and salt is what most quick versions leave out entirely.

Ingredients
- •1 lb ground pork
- •1 tsp sage
- •1/2 tsp black pepper
- •1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- •1/2 tsp salt
- •1 tsp brown sugar
- •1 tbsp vegetable oil
Steps
- 1.Gently mix the ground pork with sage, pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, and brown sugar - overmixing is what makes sausage patties dense instead of tender.
- 2.Form into small patties and chill for 15 minutes to help them hold together - the salt is what actually seasons the meat, which most quick versions skip.
- 3.Cook in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through.
- 4.Serve hot.
