Pan-cook (recommended for one sausage)
Pat the sausage dry with a paper towel. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. When oil shimmers, place the sausage in the pan. Cook, turning every 2–3 minutes, until browned on all sides (about 6–8 minutes). To ensure it cooks through without burning, after 4–5 minutes add 2 tablespoons water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam for 2–3 minutes. Uncover, continue turning until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for pork sausage or recommended temp for the sausage type, and juices run clear.

Season and rest
After cooking, transfer the sausage to a plate, season lightly with 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and let rest 2 minutes so juices redistribute before placing in the bun.
