Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and the everything-bagel-inspired spice blend delivers in a big way. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, plus a hit of flaky sea salt before being pressed into thick, golden rounds. The thumb-indent trick keeps them flat as they cook, so you get an even, deep-brown crust in the avocado oil without any fussing. These are completely free of fungi in any form — no mushroom powders, no umami boosters, just straightforward whole-food ingredients that pack serious flavor on their own. For anyone navigating a Whole30 reset, store-bought breakfast sausage is often a minefield of off-plan additives, so making your own in a single skillet is a genuinely satisfying workaround. Eight patties come together fast, and they reheat beautifully if you want to get ahead on your week.

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.
