These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and flaky sea salt all pressed right into the pork for a seriously satisfying morning bite. For anyone avoiding nightshades, breakfast sausage can be a minefield of hidden paprika, cayenne, or chili powder lurking in pre-seasoned blends, but every single ingredient here is clean and clearly listed. The spice mix is built entirely from seeds, alliums, and simple pantry staples, so you get big flavor without any of the usual red-flag additions. Avocado oil gives the patties a gorgeous, deep golden crust in a hot skillet, and the thumb-indent trick keeps them flat and even as they cook. A quick temperature check to 160°F means you never have to guess whether they're done. Make a batch on Sunday 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.
