Savory, herby, and satisfying, these pork breakfast patties are the kind of morning upgrade that makes you actually want to get out of bed. The everything-bagel-inspired blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion gives each patty a bold, layered flavor that feels way more exciting than a plain sausage round. Ground pork keeps things rich and juicy, while avocado oil in the pan delivers a gorgeous golden crust that holds up beautifully without any added fillers or binders. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole-food-based, you never have to second-guess what's in your breakfast or worry about hidden additives sneaking in from a store-bought patty. The thumb-indent trick is a small but genius move that keeps each patty flat and evenly cooked all the way through. These are great straight from the skillet, but they also reheat well, making them a smart option for meal-prepping a week's worth of protein-packed mornings.

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.
