These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. The spice blend does all the heavy lifting here, turning a simple protein into something that genuinely tastes like a weekend treat even on a Tuesday morning. Because the entire ingredient list is built around whole, minimally processed foods, there's no need to scan labels for hidden legume fillers, binders, or soy-based additives that sneak into so many store-bought breakfast sausages. Mixing just until the spices are evenly distributed keeps the patties tender rather than dense, and the thumb indent in the center is a small trick that makes a real difference in getting an even cook. A hot skillet and a little patience on that first side deliver the kind of caramelized crust that makes these impossible to resist straight out of the pan. They're equally at home alongside eggs and roasted vegetables or tucked into a lettuce wrap for something a little more portable.

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.
