Almond Free Herb & Ginger Breakfast Sausage Patties
Breakfast sausage from scratch sounds ambitious, but this recipe is genuinely simple and the payoff is enormous. Ground pork gets loaded with fresh sage, thyme, rosemary, and a little grated ginger, then warmed up with a pinch of turmeric and Ceylon cinnamon — the result is deeply savory with just enough brightness to wake up your morning. Coconut oil gives the patties a gorgeous golden crust that store-bought links rarely achieve. Because you're building everything from whole, recognizable ingredients, there's no guessing about what's hiding in the seasoning blend — no fillers, no mystery spice mixes, nothing you didn't put in the bowl yourself. That makes this a great option for anyone navigating tree nut sensitivities, since packaged sausage products can sometimes be processed alongside almond-containing items. The technique is straightforward: mix, press, and sear undisturbed until that deep brown crust forms and the patties release cleanly from the pan. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll be looking forward to breakfast all week.
