Homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties

We had some ground pork left over, and I thought it would be fun to try to make sausage patties to go with breakfast.
I’m not a big fan of sausage usually, because a lot of them incorporate caraway or fennel seeds, and I don’t really like those too much.
So this was a great way to use spices that we like, and make something without a bunch of nitrates in it.
Make sure you add enough salt if you want it to taste sausage-y. Otherwise it’s a little bit like a pork meatball.
Dino made some omelets with cheese and some tomatoes from our garden and toasted up some wheat bread to go with this sausage. It was a really nice way to start the day.
