Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Shape the mixture into about 3 1/2-inch rounds and 3/8-inch thick.
- Pan-fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through and browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or onion to the mixture. If you prefer a leaner option, substitute ground turkey for the pork. Adjust the spices according to your taste; for more heat, add red pepper flakes. Ensure the patties are evenly shaped for consistent cooking. For variations, try incorporating fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
Serving Suggestions
These sausage patties pair wonderfully with scrambled eggs and toast for a hearty breakfast. Serve them alongside hash browns or fruit for a balanced meal. They also work well in brunch dishes like a breakfast sandwich or in recipes like a Breakfast Casserole. For a more substantial meal, try them with a side of American recipes like Sheppard'S Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sausage patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 1-2 minutes, but be aware that this may result in a less crispy texture.

How do I know when the sausage patties are done cooking?
To ensure the sausage patties are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 160°F (70°C). Additionally, they should be browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center. Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving for juicier patties.
