Paleo Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
These savory breakfast patties bring serious flavor to your morning without a single grain, legume, or processed ingredient in sight. The 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 way more exciting than a basic sausage round. Avocado oil keeps the cook clean and compliant, giving each patty a gorgeous, deep golden crust that holds up beautifully in the skillet. The trick of pressing a small indent into the center before cooking means they stay flat and cook evenly all the way through — no domed, undercooked middles. At roughly two ounces each, the portions are easy to scale up for meal prep, and they reheat well for busy weekday mornings when you need protein fast. Whether you're deep in a Whole30 reset or just eating ancestrally year-round, this is the kind of recipe that makes sticking to your goals feel genuinely satisfying rather than like a compromise.

4 servings
- 1 lb ground pork

- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- ¾ tsp flaky sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

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.
