Maple-Sage Breakfast Patties

Let the inviting aroma of fresh sage and sweet maple fill your home with this seriously delicious recipe. Maple Sage Breakfast Patties are a current favorite in my family and I have a feeling you will love them too!

Start your morning off with the savory goodness of Maple-Sage Breakfast Patties! They are protein packed, freezer-friendly, and perfect for meal prepping. Make these patties to enjoy now (and throughout the week), or freeze to thaw, cook, and enjoy later on.

Ingredients for Maple-Sage Breakfast Patties:

• ground pork (can be substituted with ground chicken or turkey)
• pure maple syrup
• olive oil, avocado oil, or grapeseed oil
• fresh sage
• seasonings: fennel seeds, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt

How to Make Maple-Sage Breakfast Patties:

To start this recipe off, put all of the ingredients (except for oil) into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Combine using your hands until the seasoning and herbs are evenly incorporated, but without over-mixing.

Form the mixture into patties that are 1/2 an inch in thickness. There are a few ways to do this, but my preference is to lay out parchment paper on the counter and flatten the meat mixture with my hands into a rectangular shape that is 1/2 of an inch thick. Then I use a greased cookie cutter to cut out evenly-sized circles.

After that, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. This comes to about 4-5 minutes per side, but check the patties occasionally to make sure they aren’t over browning. A nice, golden crust is our end goal here, and it is so, so good!

Here are a couple of storage options if you are making this recipe for future use:

Form the meat mixture into a cylinder shape and wrap it in saran wrap. Store in the fridge or freezer. When you’re ready to use it, just slice the meat into patties that are 1/2 an inch in thickness.

-OR-

Another option is forming the meat mixture into patties, spreading them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and placing them in the freezer. Once the they are frozen, take them out and cut through the parchment paper between the patties, creating squares of parchment paper to keep them from sticking to each other in the freezer. When you are ready to use them, defrost in the fridge before following the recipe below.
