These homemade breakfast pork patties are a delicious and easy way to start your day with a flavorful and hearty meal.
Combine all the spices in a small bowl to create the spice mix.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures an even distribution of flavors in the patties.
Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl and add the spice mix. Mix thoroughly using clean hands until well combined.
Using your hands to mix allows you to feel the texture and ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld.
Chilling the mixture overnight enhances the flavor as the spices infuse into the pork.
Place the pork mixture between two sheets of greased wax paper and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Greasing the wax paper prevents sticking and makes rolling easier.
Remove the top sheet of wax paper and use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut the mixture into rounds.
Gather the scraps and re-roll to maximize the number of patties.
Place the patties on a baking sheet and freeze them until firm. Store in a freezer-safe container until ready to cook.
Freezing the patties individually prevents them from sticking together, making it easier to cook only what you need.
Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Ensure the skillet is preheated to achieve a nice sear on the patties.
Serve the patties warm with your favorite breakfast sides and enjoy!
Pair with eggs, toast, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
