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 garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt before hitting a hot avocado oil skillet for a deep golden sear. The result is a savory, slightly nutty crust with a juicy interior that makes a seriously satisfying morning meal. Store-bought breakfast sausages and seasoning blends are notorious for sneaking in mustard seed or mustard flour, so mixing your own patties from scratch is the smartest move for keeping things safe without sacrificing flavor. The technique is simple — mix just until combined, press into even rounds, and let the pan do the work undisturbed until that crust forms. These are also a natural fit for clean-eating protocols since every ingredient is whole and recognizable. Make a double batch on the weekend and you've got a protein-packed breakfast ready to go all week long.

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.
