Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Freshly brewed coffee
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, fresh cranberries, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the mixture into small sausage patties, about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 8 patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the melted butter and whisk for 1 minute until golden brown.
Slowly add the coffee and chicken broth to the skillet, whisking constantly to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
Stir in the brown sugar and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the sausage patties hot with the red eye gravy drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
