These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. For anyone navigating a candida-conscious eating plan, mornings can feel like the hardest meal to get right, especially when so many convenient breakfast options are loaded with sugar, grains, or processed fillers. This recipe sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list that leans entirely on whole foods and real spices. The technique is straightforward: mix just until combined, shape into even patties, and let a hot skillet do the heavy lifting for that irresistible crust. Cooking them in avocado oil keeps things clean and adds a subtle richness that complements the savory spice blend beautifully. A quick thumb indent in the center of each patty is a small trick that makes a real difference, helping them cook flat and evenly all the way through. Make a batch on the weekend and you've got a protein-forward breakfast ready to go whenever the week gets busy.

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.
