What is Breakfast Sausage?

Breakfast sausage is a flavoured ground meat usually formed into patties commonly eaten as part of breakfast in many Western countries, particularly in the United States. It is typically made from ground pork, although turkey, beef, or chicken varieties are also available. The sausage is flavoured with a variety of seasonings, including salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and sometimes sugar or maple syrup to give it a slightly sweet, savoury flavour.

The flavour profile can vary depending on regional or personal preferences, but the most common seasoning in traditional breakfast sausage is sage, which gives it a distinctive, aromatic taste.

Choosing a flavour profile?

There is a lot of play in this recipe, to alter the overall flavour of the patties, it is really up to you, I highly recommend regularly cooking off little bits of the mince to taste test if you are trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, but also look at the charts for the average ratios of seasoning to meat for things like sausages, because that will give you a guideline on how much is ‘too much’ in a mix!

The sugar content is completely up to you, I love how it adds some caramelisation to the patties, and I love that hint of sweet and smokey, but you definitely don’t have to add it! I used Monkfruit mix with some molasses in the video down below and it worked perfectly but kept the carb count lower.

How to calculate the ratio of seasoning mix to your desired amount of mince.

I chose to do enough seasoning to cover approx 7kg of mince, this is because that is the size of the costco pork roasts I purchase which I mince up to use.

However, it is fairly easy to work out how much you should use for smaller amounts. The end weight of the seasoning will be approximately 270g. if you then divide this amount by 7,000g you will get the amount per gram of mince, so then if you times that by the amount of meat you have – in the video I am using 2,500g – you will end up with the total amount you need for the mince you have.

Yes, I could have chosen to do enough seasoning up for a more rounded number, but… I didn’t think about it until I was trying to explain lol.

It is approximately however much meat you have, by 0.04 (in metric) so 2.5kg x 0.04 give you .1kg (or 100g) of seasoning. I am not sure how this translates to lbs and ozs though! but the mix makes the equivalent of about 15lb of mince, so one third (approx 90g/3oz) would season approx 5lb of meat!

Sizing your Sausage patties!

For me, I like to weigh out my patties, so they are consistently sized and I know how many I will get.

Using the full recipe of seasoning with a full 7kg of mince, you will get approximately 100 patties if you weigh them out to approximately 75g, this works well for sizing on english muffins, or brioche slider rolls!

To make this as quick and painless as possible, I like to put the chunks of meat onto scales in groups, 75g, then add the next, 150g, then the next 225g and so on and so forth, then I will roll and flatten into the pan in groups so that they all cook in a similar amount of time and evenly!

As Darryl and I are currently Keto, we tend to just serve them with some sliced cheese, a couple of fried eggs and some pickles! a drizzle of bbq sauce if we have it 😀
