Pecan Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and the everything-bagel-inspired spice blend delivers in a big way. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, plus a hit of flaky sea salt before being pressed into neat little rounds and seared in avocado oil until deeply golden. The thumb-indent trick keeps them flat and even, so you get that satisfying crust on every single bite rather than a domed, unevenly cooked patty. Pre-made breakfast sausage is one of those products where hidden fillers, sweeteners, and mystery add-ins are basically the norm — making your own from scratch sidesteps all of that entirely. Tree nuts like pecans sometimes sneak into specialty spice blends and artisan sausage mixes, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. These patties are Whole30-compliant, genuinely craveable, and come together with minimal effort, making them a strong candidate for weekend meal prep or a weekday morning when you actually want to feel good about what you ate.

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

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.
