Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with the kosher salt, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, ground nutmeg, and brown sugar.
Step 2
Drizzle the cold water over the mixture to help distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 3
Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender texture.
Step 4
Divide the seasoned pork mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small patty, about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 6
Cook the sausage patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 7
Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides, or allow the patties to cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
