Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 454 grams ground pork
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper (optional, for a touch of heat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, maple syrup, finely chopped sage, ground black pepper, kosher salt, ground nutmeg, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix thoroughly with your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the pork mixture into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten gently to form patties about 2.5 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded (you may need to cook in batches).
Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes on one side until browned and crispy, then flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the sausage patties warm with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy!
