These baked sausage patties are the perfect balance of sweet and savory, making them a tasty addition to any meal. Easy to prepare and full of flavor, they’re sure to become a family favorite in no time!
Start by positioning one oven rack in the middle and another about 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and give it a light spray of cooking spray to keep things from sticking.
In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, maple syrup, garlic, parsley, marjoram, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Stir gently until everything is combined, then divide the mixture into six even portions. Shape each portion into a patty and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with your hand to flatten them a bit.
Pop the baking sheet onto the middle rack and bake the patties for about 8 minutes. While that’s happening, turn on your broiler to low.
After baking, move the patties up to the top rack and broil until they develop a nice golden brown color, which should take around 5 minutes. Just to be safe, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer—it should read at least 165°F (74°C). Once they’re done, let them rest for a minute or two and then enjoy!
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties are cooked through without drying out.
- Avoid overmixing the ingredients to keep the patties tender.
- Let the patties rest a few minutes after baking to lock in the juices.
These patties have the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that satisfy your taste buds. They are easy to make and bake, making them a great option for busy mornings or quick dinners. Plus, their juicy texture means every bite is full of deliciousness.
Serve these patties alongside warm biscuits and a drizzle of maple syrup for a comforting breakfast. They also pair well with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a simple lunch or dinner. Adding a fried egg on top makes a tasty and filling meal.
Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in the oven or microwave to keep them moist. For longer storage, freeze the patties in a single layer and thaw overnight before reheating.
