Capsaicin Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties pack serious flavor into a simple morning routine, thanks to a bold blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt. The everything-seasoning combination gives each bite that familiar, craveable depth without relying on any hot or spicy ingredients — making them a genuinely satisfying option when you need to avoid capsaicin entirely. Ground pork is the perfect canvas here, rich enough to carry all those aromatics without needing anything extra. A quick press into patties, a thumb indent to keep them flat, and a hot avocado-oil skillet are really all it takes to get a gorgeous golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Cooking them undisturbed for those first few minutes is the key move — patience pays off with a deep, caramelized sear that makes these feel far more special than a weekday breakfast has any right to be. They come together with minimal prep and no complicated techniques, so even on a rushed morning you can have something genuinely good on the table fast.

- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- ¾ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

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.
