# Ingredients:
For the patties
01 -
1 lb (450 g) breakfast pork sausage
02 -
2 medium jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
03 -
1/3 cup finely diced yellow onion
04 -
3/4 cup (85 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1/4 cup (28 g) almond flour

For cooking
11 -
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more if needed
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the sausage, jalapenos, onion, cheddar, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix gently until evenly combined.
02 -
Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. This helps the almond flour absorb moisture and makes the patties easier to shape.
03 -
Divide the mixture into 8 equal patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty so they cook evenly.
04 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties in batches and cook for about 4 minutes, until the bottoms are well browned.
05 -
Flip the patties and cook for 3-5 minutes more, until browned on both sides and the center reaches 160°F.
06 -
Transfer the patties to a plate and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with eggs, biscuits, potatoes, or a breakfast sandwich.
