Savory Homemade Sausage Patties
Inspired by rustic country breakfasts, these sausage patties bring together rich, spiced meat flavors that evoke comfort and nostalgia. Whether served hot off the skillet or sandwiched in a fresh biscuit, these patties are a testament to simple, yet profound culinary pleasures.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage Preferably from a local butcher
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds lightly crushed
- 1 teaspoon paprika smoked
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage with the fennel seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Knead gently with your hands until all the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Ensure each patty is symmetrical for even cooking.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat (around 175°C/347°F). Add the patties to the skillet without overcrowding.
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through, with no pink in the center. The aroma should be rich and savory, typical of well-seasoned sausage.
- Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
Notes
For a different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or clove to the spice mix. For a lighter version, substitute pork with ground turkey, keeping in mind to adjust for moisture by adding a tablespoon of olive oil.
