Pregnancy Friendly Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties
Mornings during pregnancy call for something satisfying, protein-packed, and made from ingredients you can actually trust — and these savory pork patties deliver on all three. Ground pork is a solid source of protein and iron, both of which matter a lot right now, and cooking them through to a safe internal temperature of 160°F is built right into the instructions. The everything-style seasoning — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion — gives each patty a bold, bakery-inspired flavor without any processed fillers or mystery additives. Avocado oil keeps the cook clean and the edges beautifully golden. Because you're mixing and shaping everything yourself, you know exactly what's going into each bite, which is a genuine comfort when you're being more careful about what you eat. They come together quickly in a single skillet, making them a realistic option even on the mornings when energy is in short supply. Pair them with eggs or tucked alongside some fruit and you've got a breakfast that actually keeps you full.

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.
