Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped green onions, cumin, thyme, fennel seed (if using), crushed red pepper flakes, and salt.
-
Mix it Up:
- Roll up your sleeves and dive in with your clean hands! Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Don’t be afraid to get hands-on for the best results.

Season to Perfection:
- Before you proceed, it’s time for a taste test! Cook up a small amount of the mixture in a skillet to taste for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
-
Shape the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into logs, each about 2 inches in diameter.
-
Chill:
- Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and makes the mixture easier to handle.
-
Cook to Golden Perfection:
- When you’re ready to indulge, unwrap the chilled logs and slice them into 1/2 inch thick patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Fry the patties until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked to perfection, serve these delectable breakfast patties hot off the skillet. Pair them with your favorite breakfast sides and enjoy the savory goodness!
Tips:
- Use ground pork with a bit of fat for the juiciest and most flavorful patties.
- Not a fan of fennel? No problem! Simply omit it from the recipe.
- For extra convenience, freeze any leftover patties. They make for a quick and satisfying breakfast option on busy mornings.
