Sweet and Savory Baked Sausage Patties

Lightly seasoned with just a touch of sweetness, these breakfast sausages are great addition to your breakfast plate. I make these in bulk for a quick grab-and-go weekday meal. They can be frozen, just thaw overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 pound lean ground pork
• aluminum foil
• 1 serving cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set one oven rack to the middle position and another one 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine ground pork, maple syrup, garlic, parsley, marjoram, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika in a bowl; mix gently until well combined. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form into patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and turn on the oven's broiler on low.

Step 4

Broil sausage patties on the top rack until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
