Ben's Galley Oven-Baked Sausage Patties for the Crew

Feeds 15 People | Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 18-20 minutes

When you're feeding a full crew breakfast, standing over a stovetop flipping individual sausage patties is a recipe for chaos. This galley-tested oven method lets you cook 30 perfect sausage patties all at once - no flipping, no grease splatter, no stress.

Why Oven-Baked Beats Stovetop

After years of systematic galley cooking, I've learned that feeding groups requires smart shortcuts. Oven-baking sausage patties gives you:

• Consistent cooking - every patty comes out perfect

• Hands-free operation - no standing over a hot skillet

• Easy cleanup - one pan instead of multiple skillets

• Better texture - even browning without the grease pool

Ingredients for 15 People:

• 3 lbs bulk breakfast sausage (or 30 pre-formed patties)

• Cooking spray or parchment paper

The Ben's Galley Method:

Step 1: Prep Your Station (5 minutes) Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper - this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Form the Patties (5 minutes) If using bulk sausage, form into 30 patties (about 1.5 oz each). Make them about ½ inch thick with a slight indent in the center - this prevents the dreaded sausage puff-up.

Step 3: Arrange Patties Place patties on your lined sheet pans with space between each one. Don't overcrowd - they need room for even cooking.

Step 4: Set and Forget Bake for 18-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F. No flipping needed! The oven does all the work while you handle other breakfast prep.

Galley Pro Tips:

• Parchment paper is key - prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless

• Don't skip the indent - keeps patties flat instead of turning into meatballs

• Cook extra - leftover sausage patties reheat perfectly for quick breakfasts

• Use a meat thermometer - 160°F ensures food safety for the whole crew

• Drain on paper towels - removes excess grease for better texture

Perfect Timing for Group Breakfasts

This method shines when you're coordinating multiple breakfast items. While your sausage patties bake hands-free, you can focus on scrambled eggs, pancakes, or setting up your breakfast stations.

Storage and Reheating

Cooked patties keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or back in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
