Ingredients Needed

Sausage Patties: 4 frozen patties, thawed ones will also work perfectly

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheating: Get your air fryer ready by preheating it to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
Arranging: Place your sausage patties in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overlapping for even cooking.
Initial Cooking: Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on the first side.
Flipping: Carefully flip the patties and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until properly browned.
Final Check: Check if the patties are cooked through. If needed, add 1-2 minutes of cooking time until they reach your desired doneness.
Serving: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot with your favorite breakfast sides.

Cooking Tips

Your air fryer’s temperature might run a bit different from others, so keep an eye on those patties the first time you make them! If you notice they’re browning too quickly, just lower the heat by 25°F. Want them extra crispy?

Add another minute, but watch them closely to avoid burning. The perfect sausage patty should be golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside – no pink centers!

Serving Ideas

These sausage patties are breakfast stars! Stack them in a warm biscuit with melty cheese, or add them to your breakfast sandwich with a fried egg. They’re also great next to fluffy scrambled eggs and hash browns.

For a lighter option, serve them with fresh fruit and whole grain toast. Make breakfast extra special by drizzling a little maple syrup over your patties – trust me, it’s amazing!

Storage and Reheating

Got leftovers? Pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, just put them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until they’re hot. They reheat so much better this way than in the microwave! You can also freeze cooked patties for up to 2 months – just wrap them well and label the date.
