Why This Dish Is So Special

This sausage perfectly balances sweet and spicy flavors, making your breakfast both comforting and exciting. The maple adds a rich sweetness while the heat gives it a nice kick. It’s a great way to start your day with a bit of flavor and warmth.

Cooking Tips

- Cook sausages over medium heat to ensure they brown evenly without burning.
- Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe eating.
- Let the sausages rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.

Step 1

Stir the ground pork with maple syrup, salt, sage, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, marjoram, coriander, and cloves in a bowl until everything is well combined. Then, shape the mixture into about 10 small patties.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties in batches so they don’t overcrowd the pan. Let them cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they're no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of at least 160°F (73°C) to be safe.

Step 3

Once all the patties are cooked through, they’re ready to serve. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these sausages alongside fluffy pancakes or waffles drizzled with extra maple syrup. They also pair well with scrambled eggs and sautéed greens for a hearty breakfast plate.

How To Store For Later

Store any leftover cooked sausages in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months; just thaw overnight before reheating gently.
