MSG Free Herb & Ginger Breakfast Sausage Patties
Store-bought breakfast sausage is one of those sneaky sources of hidden additives — flavor enhancers, yeast extracts, and other glutamate-heavy ingredients show up in the ingredient list more often than you'd expect. Making your own from scratch puts you completely in control, and this version proves you don't need any of that to get serious flavor. Ground pork gets layered with fresh sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and grated ginger, then warmed up with a pinch of turmeric and Ceylon cinnamon for a subtly complex, aromatic patty that tastes anything but plain. The coconut oil gives each patty a gorgeous golden crust when cooked undisturbed in a hot skillet — patience here is the real secret. Everything comes together in one bowl with your hands, no special equipment required. These are the kind of breakfast patties that make a weekend morning feel genuinely worth getting up for.
