Savory, boldly seasoned, and ready to anchor any morning plate, these pork breakfast patties bring serious flavor without a single grain or filler in sight. That everything-bagel-inspired blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion does all the heavy lifting, turning simple ground pork into something that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. Many store-bought breakfast sausages sneak in binders or fillers that can be a real headache to track down, so mixing your own from scratch puts you completely in control of what goes on the plate. The thumb-indent trick keeps each patty flat and even as it cooks, and a hot avocado-oil skillet gives you that deep golden crust that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Cooking to 160°F ensures every patty is perfectly done through the center without drying out the edges. Serve them straight from the pan alongside eggs, roasted vegetables, or fresh fruit for a breakfast that feels indulgent but plays by all the rules.

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.
