How to Make Homemade Pork Sausage Patties

1. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic (optional) for 7-8 minutes, or until softened.
2. Cool the sautéed onion mixture for 10-15 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup soft bread crumbs and 1/2 cup milk. Let stand until the milk is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
4. Add the cooled onion mixture to the bread crumb mixture.
5. Add 2 pounds ground pork (with at least 20% fat), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon marjoram, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg to the bowl.
6. Gently mix all ingredients with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Form the sausage mixture into 3-inch patties (adjust size as desired).
8. Place patties on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. At this point, patties can be frozen for later use.
9. If not freezing, refrigerate the patties overnight for enhanced flavor.
10. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
11. Cook patties for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
12. Serve immediately on your favorite buns or as a delicious brunch entree.
