These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-style flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. The spice blend is mixed right into the meat, so every single bite delivers that punchy, aromatic crust you'd normally only get from a bakery counter. Pre-seasoned breakfast sausages from the store often sneak in fillers, sugars, or additives that can complicate clean eating, but here you control every ingredient from start to finish. The thumb-indent trick keeps the patties cooking flat and even, and pulling them off the heat at exactly 160°F means they stay juicy rather than drying out. Eight portioned patties make it easy to meal-prep a full week of protein-forward mornings in one quick skillet session. Whether you're pairing them with eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, or just eating them straight off the plate, they bring serious breakfast energy without any of the guesswork.

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.
