Breakfast patties that actually taste like something — that's the promise here, and the everything-bagel-inspired seasoning blend delivers in a big way. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt before hitting a hot avocado oil skillet, so every bite is savory, a little nutty, and deeply satisfying. The technique is straightforward: mix just until the spices are evenly distributed, press into even patties with a thumb indent to keep them flat, and let the pan do the work until you get that deep golden crust. No fillers, no binders, no grain-based ingredients of any kind — just clean, whole-food components that come together fast on a weekday morning. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, it's genuinely reassuring to have a breakfast protein this flavorful without needing to scrutinize a single label. Serve them straight from the skillet while they're still sizzling and you'll understand why these are the kind of thing people make on repeat.

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.
