This morning I wanted something unique for breakfast and I wanted it to use things I already had on hand. So I foraged my freezer and pantry and found half a pound of ground pork, some rye flour and some eggs. So with some simple seasoning I turned the ground pork into a spicy sausage patty, the rye flour into biscuits and fried the eggs. It was a totally satisfying breakfast. If you wanted you could just fry the sausage in a pan and turn it into sausage gravy if you wanted to.
Spicy Breakfast Sausage
Ingredients
8 oz ground pork
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 thyme
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp fennel seeds, optional
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Form into 3 equal size patties. Place patties in a pan heated over medium high heat. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, or until no longer pink inside.
