Fresh Blackberry Breakfast Sausage Patties
Homemade breakfast sausage patties speckled with juicy blackberries and deliciously spiced with fresh thyme and sage make a wonderful addition to any family breakfast or brunch table.
Servings: 8
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1-1/2 teaspoons finely minced fresh sage
- 1-1/2 teaspoons finely minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries, halved
Instructions
- Add the pork and spices (sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper) to a mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix together until well combined. Divide mixture evenly and form into 8 patties.
- Gently press berries into each patty, reforming patties as necessary.
- Heat skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick spray before adding patties. Add patties to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes before flipping.
- Flip patties and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 160F degrees with an instant-read thermometer inserted near center of patty, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Repeat as needed with uncooked patties, this will depend on size of patties and size of skillet. I was able to fit 4 patties in my pan, so I cooked them in two batches.
- If desired, dab patties with paper towel before serving. Alternatively, you can place cooked patties on a paper towel on a large plate until ready to serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 4 PointsPlus (Old plan) You can also bake these breakfast patties. Add formed patties to a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Baked in oven that has been preheated to 400F degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until internal patty temperature reaches 160F degrees using an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of the patty. Remove from oven and turn on broiler. Flip patties and broil until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Although I haven't tried this yet, you can also cook these patties in an air fryer. I would preheat my air fryer to 400F degrees and then add the patties in a single layer to the air fryer basket and cook in 5 minute increments until cooked through. If you need to substitute dried sage or thyme for the fresh, a good rule of thumb is to use about 1/3 the amount. So 1 tablespoon fresh is equal to 1 teaspoon dried—though not all dried herbs are created equal, so feel free to adjust to your own taste.
