Air Fryer Breakfast Pork Patties (Sausage Burgers)
These Air Fryer Breakfast Pork Patties are essentially flat sausages without the skins which make them really easy to stack in a roll or English muffin, top with a fried egg or simply add to a breakfast or dinner. They air fry to perfection with crispy edges and juicy middles and can be cooked straight from frozen with no mess.

Instructions
If your air fryer requires pre-heating, Start this setting now.
Take 4 Breakfast Pork Pattiesout of the packet. Give them a pat dry with kitchen paper if they are at all wet.
Drizzle over or spray roughly ½ tsp Oil. Use a brush or your fingers to coat the patties all over with a very thin layer of the oil.
Use tongs to place the sausage patties into the air fryer basket.
Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate.
Air fry for 8 minutes at 200c/390f.
Use the tongs to flip the patties and air fry for a further 2 minutes at 200c/390f.
And serve!
To Cook From Frozen
Prepare 4 Breakfast Pork Patties by making sure they are all separated. If there is any ice on them at all, give them a quick run under the cold tap to remove it and they dry them thoroughly with a towel.
Drizzle or spray with ½ tsp Oil. Use a brush or your fingers to coat the patties all over with a very thin layer of the oil.
Place the patties into the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate.
Cook for 9 minutes at 200c/390f.
Use the tongs to flip the patties and air fry for a further 3 minutes at 200c/390f.
Serve!
Notes
The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit 4 breakfast pork patties in the basket at a time. This gives plenty of room to allow air to circulate. I couldn't fit in more but it would be easy to part cook two batches and then finish them all off at the same time due to the amount of shrinkage.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
