Honey 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. Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, plus a hit of flaky sea salt come together to give simple ground pork a bold, savory crust that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible. A lot of store-bought breakfast sausages sneak in sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to round out the flavor, so making your own is the cleanest way to know exactly what's in every bite. The technique is straightforward: mix just until the spices are evenly distributed, press into even patties with a thumb indent to keep them flat, and let a hot avocado-oil skillet do the rest. That undisturbed sear is what builds the deep golden crust that makes these patties genuinely craveable. They come out juicy, perfectly seasoned, and ready to anchor a solid morning plate alongside eggs or roasted vegetables.

- 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.
