Artificial Flavors Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and these deliver in a big way. The everything-bagel-inspired blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt turns simple ground pork into something genuinely crave-worthy. Every ingredient on the list is exactly what it says it is: real spices, real seeds, avocado oil — nothing synthetic hiding in a seasoning packet or pre-mixed blend. That matters a lot when you're trying to keep your plate free from lab-made flavor additives, because store-bought breakfast sausage is one of the sneakiest offenders in that category. The technique is just as satisfying as the flavor — a hot skillet and a little patience give you patties with a deep golden crust that practically sears itself once the oil starts shimmering. A thumb indent in the center keeps them flat and even, so every bite cooks through without drying out. These are the kind of patties that make a weekday morning feel like you actually tried.

4 servings
- 1 lb ground pork

- ½ tsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp dried minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- ¾ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, flaky sea salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 30 seconds — stop as soon as the mixture is uniform to avoid overworking.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 oz each). Press each portion into a round patty roughly 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center of each with your thumb to help them cook flat.
