Ginger Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and the everything-bagel-inspired spice blend delivers in a big way. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt before hitting a hot skillet in avocado oil, so every bite is savory, seedy, and deeply satisfying. The technique is simple but smart: a thumb indent in each patty keeps them flat as they cook, and leaving them undisturbed in the pan builds that gorgeous golden crust you want from a breakfast patty. Many store-bought sausage patties and seasoning blends sneak in ginger or other warming spices, but this recipe keeps the flavor profile clean and completely free of it — no label-reading required. The whole blend is built from scratch with ingredients you can see and verify, which makes it a genuinely stress-free morning option. These come together fast, cook up beautifully, and are the kind of thing you'll want to batch-make and reheat all week long.

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
- ¼ tsp garlic powder

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.
