Gut Friendly Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork rounds that cook up with a gorgeous golden crust. For anyone focused on keeping their gut in check, the ingredient list here is refreshingly clean: no fillers, no added sugars, no mystery binders, just real food that your body can actually work with. Avocado oil keeps the cook simple and the fat profile solid, while the careful mixing technique ensures the patties stay tender rather than dense or rubbery. The thumb-indent trick is a small but brilliant detail that helps each patty cook flat and evenly, so you get consistent results every single time. Eight patties come together in one skillet session, making this a practical choice for meal-prepping a week of satisfying breakfasts. Serve them straight from the pan while the edges are still sizzling and the centers are perfectly cooked through — no condiments required.

- 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.
