Breakfast sausage patties are one of those morning staples that can feel completely off-limits when you're navigating a restricted ingredient list, but this recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward. Ground pork gets seasoned with a bold blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a touch of flaky sea salt — no fillers, no binders, no mystery additives that tend to sneak into store-bought patties. The everything-seasoning combo gives each bite a savory, slightly nutty depth that makes these taste far more special than the short ingredient list suggests. Avocado oil in the pan helps develop a deep golden crust on the outside while the inside stays juicy and fully cooked through. The technique is simple but deliberate — pressing a small indent into each patty keeps them flat, and cooking undisturbed lets that crust actually form instead of steaming. Whether you're meal-prepping a week of breakfasts or pulling these together on a slow weekend morning, they reheat beautifully and pair well with just about anything on your safe foods list. Clean, satisfying, and genuinely craveable — this is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

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.
