Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork 85% lean
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Shape the mixture into eight balls. Press on each ball to form ½-inch thick patties weighing 2 ounces each.
  3. Gently press your thumb or finger into the middle of each patty to create a shallow dimple. This helps the patties hold their shape while they cook.
  4. Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Swirl to coat.
  5. Place the patties on the skillet (you might need to cook them in two batches). Cook them until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The sausages slightly shrink as they cook, so make them wider in diameter than you want them to be.
  • The patties' internal temperature should reach 165°F. To check with a thermometer, insert it sideways into the patty, pushing it into the middle.
  • Pork will give you the classic breakfast patty flavor. But you can also use ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them, covered, in the microwave at 50% power. You can also freeze the cooled patties in freezer bags for quick and easy midweek meals. If layering them, separate the layers with parchment or wax paper so they don't stick together.
