Touted in the comments as “Holy, delicious Batman!” and “Worth making again and again and again,” my friend Loriel’s recipes have been a staple around here for awhile.
Today I’m thrilled to share her sweet and savory maple breakfast sausage recipe with you. It’s super simple and mouthwateringly delicious with a drizzle of maple syrup. I hope you love it as much as we do!

July 31, 2015 at 7:48 PMWhen using fresh thyme, same amount? do you have to take it off the stems? Thank you!

August 3, 2015 at 11:30 AMI haven’t used fresh thyme before but I believe it is double the amount of dry. You’ll want to pick the leaves off the stems so you don’t get any hard pieces of stem in your sausage.
