Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage finely diced fine
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped, stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Gather all the tools and ingredients to make sage sausage recipe.
  • Dice fresh sage.
  • Remove stems from fresh thyme and chop it.

Cooking Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. My suggestion is to use your hands and really get it mixed well.
  • Form the sage breakfast sausage patties: either form by hand or spread the meat mixture over a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cut out the sausage into patties with a ring mold or round cookie cutter.
  • Heat about a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a skillet with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is shimmering, add the sausage patties. Don't overcrowd the pan and cover immediately.
  • After 3-4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the patty), flip the sausage in the pan using tongs, reduce the heat to medium, and cover.
  • Cook another 3-4 minutes or until they are cooked through.
  • Remove from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Serve hot with your favorite breakfast!
