Eggless Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the whole pitch here. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, plus garlic and onion powder, so every bite carries that bold, everything-bagel-style flavor you didn't know you needed before noon. The avocado oil gives each patty a deep golden crust that's genuinely satisfying, and the thumb-indent trick keeps them cooking flat instead of puffing up into little meatballs. Because the binder here is just well-seasoned pork and good technique, there's no egg required — which means these work beautifully for anyone avoiding eggs without any substitutions or workarounds. A quick mix, a hot skillet, and about ten minutes of cook time is all that stands between you and a plate of crispy, savory patties. They're great on their own, tucked into a lettuce wrap, or alongside roasted vegetables for a meal-prep breakfast that doesn't feel like a compromise.

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

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.
