Nutmeg Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-style flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. The spice blend is completely homemade, so you know exactly what's going into every bite with zero mystery seasonings or fillers to worry about. That matters a lot when you're navigating a spice-sensitive diet, since pre-mixed blends and store-bought patties often sneak in unexpected ingredients. Here, every component is straightforward and easy to verify. The trick to getting that perfect crust is patience — letting the patties cook undisturbed until they release naturally from the pan gives you that gorgeous, caramelized exterior. A quick thumb indent in the center keeps them flat and even, so you get consistent doneness all the way through. These are the kind of breakfast patties that make waking up early feel genuinely worth it.

4 servings
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- ½ tsp poppy seeds
- 1 tsp dried minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- ¾ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
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.
