MSG Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties made from scratch are one of those small-effort, high-reward moves that make mornings feel genuinely exciting. These are seasoned with a savory everything-style blend — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt — so every bite has that bold, layered flavor you'd expect from a specialty spice mix, minus any fillers or additives. That matters more than it sounds, because store-bought breakfast sausage and pre-mixed seasonings are notorious hiding spots for flavor enhancers you'd rather avoid. Here, you control every single ingredient, and the list is refreshingly short. Ground pork gets mixed just until the spices are evenly distributed, then pressed into neat patties and seared in avocado oil until the undersides are deep golden brown and irresistible. The result is a crispy-edged, juicy patty with real texture and real flavor — no shortcuts, no mystery ingredients. Stack them alongside eggs, tuck them into lettuce wraps, or just eat them straight off the plate.

- 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.
