From Scratch Breakfast Sausage Food

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine diced pork with all other ingredients and chill for 1 hour. Using the fine blade of a grinder, grind the pork. Form into 1-inch rounds. Refrigerate and use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For immediate use, saute patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan. Saute until brown and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

FRESH BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together pork, sage, thyme, maple syrup, pinch of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide mixture into 4 patties (about 3 tablespoons each).
• In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add patties and cook until browned, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and flip patties. Cover and cook until cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.

• Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it. Mix well with your hands and form into patties.
• Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes per side, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).

FROM SCRATCH BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. I prefer to grind my own meat, so this batch was made with country style pork ribs (because they were on sale), which are pretty fatty, but that's what add flavor right? I ground the pork and weighed it out.
• 2. I used a wide shallow bowl so I could spread the sausage out well to evenly distribute the seasoning. I sprinkled all seasonings on and drizzle the olive oil around the pork. Then I "folded" it by hand until completely mixed.
• 3. Refrigerate overnight or longer. Form patties and cook till done. For spicier sausage, add more red pepper flakes. If using a leaner pork you will probably need to add a little liquid to it, apple juice or water.

SIMPLE HOMEMADE SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix together the pork, garlic, sage, thyme, fennel, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the egg white and combine thoroughly. Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes.
• To easily form the sausage patties, rinse your hands in cold water. Divide the mixture into eighths and shape each portion into a 2 1/2-inch disk. Patties can be made to this point and refrigerated or frozen until ready to use.
• Heat a skillet over high heat, and then swirl in the oil. Fry the sausages on both sides until completely cooked through and golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Drain and serve immediately with pancakes, waffles or eggs. Sausage patties can be fully cooled, wrapped, and frozen for microwave reheating.
