How to Make a Breakfast Sausage Patty
Starting your day with a delicious breakfast sausage patty can be a delightful way to kick off your morning. Whether you’re preparing for a busy day at work or simply looking to enjoy a comforting breakfast, making your own sausage patty is a simple and rewarding task. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a mouthwatering breakfast sausage patty that you can be proud of.
Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 pound ground pork
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
Instructions
1. Mix the Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2. Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the seasoned meat and mix it in thoroughly. The flour will help the patties hold their shape while cooking.
3. Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty. Aim for a thickness of about 1/2 inch for a perfect breakfast patty.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat the vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat for a few minutes before adding the patties.
5. Cook the Patties: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. For a juicier patty, you can cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking.
6. Rest the Patties: Once the patties are cooked, let them rest for a minute or two before serving. This will help them to retain their juices and stay moist.
7. Serve: Serve your breakfast sausage patty on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, cheese, or avocado.
Additional Tips
– For a spicier breakfast, consider adding more cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
– If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the ground pork with ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative.
– Don’t forget to season the patties with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
Now that you know how to make a breakfast sausage patty, you can start your day with a homemade breakfast that’s both delicious and satisfying. Enjoy!
