Nitrate & Nitrite Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast sausage patties from the store almost always come loaded with curing agents, preservatives, and mystery additives ā which makes finding a clean option genuinely frustrating. These skillet patties sidestep all of that by starting with plain ground pork and building every bit of flavor from scratch using sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt. That everything-bagel-inspired spice blend is the real star here, giving each patty a savory, slightly nutty crust that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Cooking them in avocado oil over medium heat gets the undersides deeply golden before you even flip them, so you end up with that satisfying sear without any fuss. The thumb-indent trick keeps the patties from puffing up in the center, which means even cooking all the way through to 160Ā°F with no guesswork. They come together quickly and pair beautifully with eggs, roasted vegetables, or anything else on your morning plate.
