Spicy Breakfast Sausage

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.
