Now that Josh is eating solid foods, we eat breakfast together every morning. I give him little bites of whatever I’m eating, and no surprise that he is alllll about the meat. Such a boy.

I love breakfast sausage patties with my eggs in the morning. Even more protein to give me energy throughout the day. The flavor is so good, and they get that delicious crunchy, golden crust.

I used to buy pre-made breakfast sausage at the store. But after reading the ingredients, I was shocked to see that they included corn syrup, sugar, and preservatives. Not what I want to be feeding myself and my baby.

I set out to make my own homemade sausage breakfast patties, and it is so easy and they taste way better!

You just combine 1 pound ground pork a teaspoon each of fennel seeds, dried sage, garlic powder, salt and a little pinch of red pepper flakes. That’s it! Then brown them up in a cast iron skillet so they get that wonderful crusty, golden crust that I love so much.

I’ve been making these paleo sausage breakfast patties for about 3 weeks straight and each batch I tweaked the amount of seasonings until I settled on this version, which is just perfect for my taste. You can play around with the seasonings and the amount used to suit your taste.

I’ll make the sausage patties and form them, and make 2 each morning. The rest of the patties can keep refrigerated for 3 days. The flavor intensifies the longer the spices have time to marry. You can even freeze the uncooked patties and keep them frozen for up to 6 months. Just defrost and cook as normal once thawed.

These homemade paleo breakfast sausage patties are so healthy! Gluten free, Whole30, paleo, low carb and use all real ingredients. Much more affordable than the store bought version too.

Ingredients 

USMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 pound ground pork, I prefer 85/15
• ▢ 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried sage
• ▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy
• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions 

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and all seasonings. Blend the meat until combined.
• Use a large cookie scoop to make even sized 3 tablespoon balls. Flatten with your hands until less than 1/2" thick to form the patties. Makes 8 patties.
• Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil to prevent sticking and to help the patties brown. Cook the patties until golden brown and they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 5 minutes per side.
• Drain on a paper towel and serve warm.

Notes

-You can freeze these patties raw for up to 6 months. Defrost and cook as normal once thawed.
