In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork with salt, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly mix the spices into the ground pork, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Divide the seasoned pork mixture into equal portions, shaping each into a flat, round patty. Ensure that the patties are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, adding a small amount of oil if necessary.
Carefully place the sausage patties in the preheated skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and have a golden-brown exterior.
Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature and guarantee proper doneness.
Once cooked, transfer the breakfast sausage patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these flavorful and homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties as a delicious addition to your morning meal, offering a perfect balance of herbs and spices.
