WOW, the flavor of the sage dominates everything else. Overall, I liked it but would like to have used less sage. This recipe is truly for sage lovers. All in all, it beats the options I have here for breakfast patties. Thanks.

I was the happy recipient of some wild pig and was debating various recipes. This was so simple and far superior to the pre-packaged type. There's no excuse to use any other sausage patty. Whip them up and freeze them if you must!

Great recipe thanks, added a pinch of fennel and smoked paprika. Terrific for breakfast with eggs, tomatoes and cottage cheese. Thanks again.
