Sausage Patty Surprise
1-1/2 lb. ground pork sausage meat
3 T. olive oil
1 head garlic, peeled and chopped fine
Gray salt
Freshly-ground pepper
1/3-C. white wine
4 slices Monterrey Jack cheese
Divide sausage meat into 8 equal pieces and form into patties. Set aside. Heat a T. of oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add garlic, salt and pepper and sauté very slowly to avoid browning. Stir often. After 3 minutes, add white wine and let simmer slowly until wine has evaporated and garlic is very soft. If necessary, add a little more wine to keep garlic from browning. Remove from heat and mash slightly with a fork. Place half the sausage patties on a work surface and spread with the garlic mixture. Place the remaining sausage patties on top and pinch ends to seal garlic mixture inside. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Sear sausage patties on a grill pan or skillet on both sides. Cook for about 10 minutes and top with a slice of jack cheese. Keep warm.
