Oh, what to eat for breakfast on a Whole30 cleanse? No toast, no pancakes, no beans, no more waffles. I decided I wanted to make Homemade Sweet Italian Sausage Patties for breakfast. I love the spices in sweet Italian sausage, especially the fennel. I made these yummy breakfast sausage patties and put them in a lettuce wrap, topped with homemade mayonnaise, mustard, avocado, fermented pickles and bacon. Let me show you how easy these are to make.
I put the ground pork, spices, apple sauce and apple cider vinegar in a bowl and mixed with my hands. I have also made this in a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with a flat beater. Once all ingredients are incorporated, form into 6 small patties, about 4 inches across. If you want to make large patties for burgers, divide mixture into 4 equal sections and form into round patties.
I heat my cast iron to medium heat. I love using cast iron! It heats evenly and browns the patties perfectly. Place the patties on the hot skillet and heat for 2-3 minutes and flip with a slotted turner. Heat another 2-3 minutes. Patties are cooked through when you press the center of a patty and it is firm. If the center is still soft when you press down, heat another minute. Place patties on a paper lined plate.
You can serve these homemade sweet Italian sausage patties as a wrap or with homemade potato wedges, sautéed spinach and fresh fruit.
I also have had these homemade sweet Italian sausage patties in a wrap for lunch and they are really satisfying and flavorful. To keep these wraps Whole30 approved, checkout my Homemade Mayonnaise and Fermented Dill Pickles recipe.
