Cooking breakfast sausage patties in the oven is an easy way to cook a larger amount of sausage hands free compared to frying sausage over the stovetop. So easy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb+ breakfast sausage patties pre-shaped or from a tube

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • For easy clean-up, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, foil, or spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • If you have a sausage tube, slice the sausage into even slices. Place the sausage patties in a single layer on the baking sheet leaving space in between the patties.
  • PRO TIP: Sausage patties can shrink and form rounded disks when baking. To prevent this, press a dimple (about ¼" deep) in the center with your finger. This pushes more of the meat towards the outer edges and your sausages will bake flat.
  • Bake the sausage patties for a total of 18+ minutes, flipping them over around half-way through cooking (after 8-9 minutes).
  • Cook the sausage until the internal temperature reaches at least 160F+, which is easy to test with a digital cooking thermometer. Pop them under a broiler for a minute if you want them even browner. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Any brand of breakfast sausages will work in the recipe, as will the flavored varieties, popular options are Johnsonville or Jimmy Dean.
  • To lighten things up turkey sausages can be swapped for the pork, the baking time could change slightly.
  • We highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer to test for doneness since all ovens can vary.
  • If you're baking frozen sausages, break them apart before baking. They'll take about 21-23 minutes to cook. Due to moisture content, they might not brown as well, just broil them 1 minute to get a skillet finish.
  • If you're cooking homemade breakfast patties they could be larger or thicker than the store-bought patties which come pre-shaped and will possibly take longer to cook.
