Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and the everything-bagel-inspired spice blend delivers in a big way. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt before hitting a hot skillet, so every bite is savory, a little nutty, and deeply satisfying. The thumb-indent trick keeps them cooking flat, and the avocado oil gives the exterior that gorgeous, deep golden crust you want from a proper breakfast patty. Store-bought breakfast sausages often sneak in fillers, flavor enhancers, or grain-based binders that can be a real problem when you're avoiding barley and similar ingredients — these are made from scratch with a clean, straightforward list you can read at a glance. The whole process is simple enough for a weekday morning but impressive enough to serve at a weekend brunch spread. Eight patties come together fast, and they pair beautifully with eggs, roasted vegetables, or anything else on your morning plate.

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.
