Breakfast patties that actually make you excited to get out of bed — that's exactly what these deliver. The everything-bagel-inspired blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and layers of garlic and onion (both dried minced and powdered, for serious depth) turns simple ground pork into something that tastes far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Many store-bought breakfast sausages sneak in citrus-derived preservatives, natural flavors, or juice concentrates, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to keep your morning meal worry-free. Avocado oil gives each patty a gorgeous, deep golden crust without any off-flavors, and the thumb-indent trick keeps them flat and even in the pan. The technique is straightforward — mix just until combined, sear undisturbed, and you'll be rewarded with patties that are juicy inside and beautifully caramelized outside. These fit neatly into a Whole30 reset while still feeling indulgent enough to serve to anyone at the table, no special-diet explanation required.

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.
