Breakfast patties from a bag or box almost always sneak in sweeteners, fillers, or syrups you never asked for — these homemade ones keep things completely clean. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt, giving every bite that bold, everything-bagel-style flavor without a drop of added sugar or corn syrup in sight. Mixing the spices straight into the meat means the seasoning is deep and even, not just a surface dusting. A quick sear in avocado oil builds a gorgeous golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy, and the thumb-indent trick helps them cook flat and even all the way through. Eight patties come together with minimal effort and zero questionable ingredients, making this an easy win for a savory, satisfying morning. They're the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full and makes you feel good about what you put on your plate.

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.
