Homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties

Prep time 25 minutes Servings 4

Homemade breakfast sausage patties beat the store-bought version mostly because you control the sage and pepper. I.G.P. Sicilia 05's warm spice lift is a natural fit for classic breakfast seasoning, one of this oil's few, well-suited pairings.

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon I.G.P. Sicilia 05, plus more for the pan
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, I.G.P. Sicilia 05, sage, black pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Mix gently with your hands just until the seasonings are evenly distributed, overworking the meat will make the patties dense.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a splash of I.G.P. Sicilia 05 in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Cook the patties in batches if needed, 4 to 5 minutes per side, until deeply browned and cooked through to 160°F.
Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
