Breakfast Sausages

Breaky Patties

Good quality breakfast sausages are hard to find, and sometimes when you do, they are quite pricey. Instead, make these simple homemade breakfast sausage patties that stack well if you want to make a breakfast sandwich or just have them on the side with some eggs, sliced tomatoes, and avocado-yum! The best part, you can make a bunch of these at once, then freeze them for future meals. If you shop at Longo's or Sobey's, you should dry duBreton pork - it's from Quebec and is organic, antibiotic free, and naturally raised pigs. Look for this logo:

 



Ingredients:

1lb Medium or Lean Ground Pork (a little fat is good to keep these juicy and not dry when they cook out)
Fresh Sage, Thyme, and Rosemary, stems removed, all finely chopped
Kosher Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
 

1. In a large bowl, combine the pork with approximately 1 teaspoon each of the fresh herbs, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne (depends on how much spice you want), a teaspoon of salt and 3/4 of a teaspoon of pepper.
2. Form the patties into 2-3" size round patties, not too thick for even and fast cooking.
3. In a pan over medium-heat, cook the patties until brown on both sides and patties are cooked through.
4. Eat right away, or allow to cool and then pack the patties away in the freezer for next time!
