Recreate the savory magic of fast-food mornings with these homemade Burger King Breakfast Sausage Patties, a comforting and flavorful addition to your breakfast spread. Crafted from simple ingredients like ground pork, dried sage, brown sugar, and a touch of garlic and onion powder, these patties deliver that iconic savory-sweet balance we all crave. A dash of crushed red pepper flakes adds optional heat, while a splash of ice water ensures a tender, juicy texture. Quick to prepare in under 20 minutes, these perfectly seasoned patties are pan-seared to golden perfection and versatile enough to star in breakfast sandwiches, alongside eggs, or as a hearty side to pancakes. A homemade twist on a beloved classic, this recipe will elevate your breakfasts with its authentic flavor and restaurant-quality appeal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, dried sage, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Mix the spices into the ground pork thoroughly, ensuring that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Add the ice water to the mixture and gently mix it in. This helps to hydrate and bind the sausage for a tender texture.
Divide the seasoned pork mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a thin, round patty (about 3 inches in diameter).
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of cooking oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Place the sausage patties into the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
Serve the sausage patties hot as part of a breakfast sandwich, alongside scrambled eggs, or with your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy!
