Cinnamon Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, layered garlic and onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt that makes every bite genuinely satisfying. For anyone avoiding warm spices like cinnamon, morning sausage options can feel surprisingly limited, since so many store-bought blends sneak in sweet or spiced notes. This recipe keeps things clean and savory from start to finish, with zero hidden seasonings to worry about. The technique is straightforward: mix, press, and sear in avocado oil until you get that deep golden crust that signals serious flavor. A thumb indent in the center of each patty is a small but smart move that keeps them flat and evenly cooked all the way through. They're Whole30-compliant, made from a short list of real ingredients, and come together in one skillet — which means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy breakfast.

- 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.
