Ingredients for Homemade Sage Sausage Patties Easy

  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • Rubbed Sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Dried Oregano
  • 1 pound ground pork

How to Make Homemade Sage Sausage Patties Easy

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground pork, 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves (packed), 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Gently crumble 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (removed from casings) over the mixture and combine thoroughly using your hands. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the pork is no longer pink. (Note: Patties may stick slightly to the pan due to the cheese; use a spatula to gently loosen them.)
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
