Paraben Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties made from scratch are one of those small-effort, high-reward moves that make mornings feel genuinely exciting. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt — essentially everything-bagel energy packed into a savory little round. Parabens are synthetic preservatives that sneak into a surprising number of processed and packaged meat products, so making these at home with whole, recognizable ingredients is a smart way to sidestep that concern entirely. Avocado oil brings the sear, and the trick of pressing a small indent into each patty means they cook up flat and even rather than puffing into a dome. The result is a deeply golden, crispy-edged patty with a juicy center that holds its own next to eggs, roasted vegetables, or whatever else you're building your plate around. Eight patties come together in one bowl and one skillet, which means cleanup is minimal and the whole process stays refreshingly simple.

- 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.
