Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground sage
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, black pepper, paprika, ground sage, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the sausage mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sausage patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of each patty reaches 160°F (71°C).
Place the cooked patties on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy your Good Morning Breakfast Sausage!
