BHA & BHT Free Herb & Ginger Breakfast Sausage Patties
Most store-bought breakfast sausages are loaded with preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend shelf life, which makes finding a clean option at the grocery store genuinely frustrating. These homemade patties sidestep all of that by starting with simple ground pork and a lineup of fresh herbs and spices — nothing processed, nothing hidden. Fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary bring that classic savory sausage flavor, while grated ginger, turmeric, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon add warmth and a subtle complexity that makes these patties taste anything but basic. Coconut oil gives each patty a beautifully golden, slightly crisp crust without the need for any synthetic additives. The technique is straightforward — mix, press, and pan-fry — and the results are deeply satisfying in a way that reheated frozen patties simply can't match. Whether you're building a full breakfast spread or just need something hearty before a busy morning, these deliver real flavor with total ingredient transparency.
