BLACKBERRY BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES
Ingredients
- ▢1 pound ground pork
- ▢1-½ teaspoons finely minced fresh sage
- ▢1-½ teaspoons finely minced fresh thyme
- ▢1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢¾ teaspoon salt
- ▢Pinch black pepper
- ▢½ cup fresh blackberries, halved
Instructions
- Add the pork and spices (sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to a mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix together until well combined. Divide mixture evenly and form into 8 patties.
- Gently press berries into each patty, reforming patties as necessary.
- Heat skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick spray before adding patties. Add patties to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes before flipping.
- Flip patties and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 160F degrees with an instant-read thermometer inserted near center of patty, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Repeat as needed with uncooked patties, this will depend on size of patties and size of skillet. I was able to fit 4 patties in my pan, so I cooked them in two batches.
- If desired, dab patties with paper towel before serving. Alternatively, you can place cooked patties on a paper towel on a large plate until ready to serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
