Macadamia Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried 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 gets you excited to wake up in the morning. Because every ingredient is straightforward and whole-food-based, there's no need to scrutinize labels for sneaky additives or worry about cross-contact with tree nuts that can show up in pre-seasoned or processed breakfast meats. The thumb-indent trick keeps each patty flat and even as it cooks, so you get that gorgeous caramelized crust on every single one. A quick sear in a hot skillet and a thermometer check are all it takes to nail these — no guesswork, no fuss. They're the kind of make-ahead protein that works just as well reheated on a busy Tuesday as they do fresh off the pan on a lazy Sunday.

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.
