Carrageenan Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Mornings get a serious upgrade when breakfast smells this good. These savory pork patties are seasoned with a punchy blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt — essentially everything-bagel energy in a crispy, golden patty. The whole thing comes together in one bowl and one skillet, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor before your first cup of coffee. For anyone navigating a carrageenan-free lifestyle, pre-made breakfast sausages can be a minefield — that additive sneaks into processed meats more often than you'd expect. Making patties from scratch with simple, whole ingredients is the cleanest workaround, and this recipe keeps every single component completely transparent. Ground pork, spices, and avocado oil — that's genuinely it. The technique here is worth following closely: pressing a small indent into the center of each patty before cooking helps them stay flat and cook evenly, and letting them sit undisturbed in the pan builds that deep golden crust that makes these so satisfying. Cooking to 160°F ensures they're perfectly done without drying out. Serve them straight from the skillet and they'll disappear fast.

4 servings
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 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.
