These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. Store-bought breakfast sausage is a minefield for hidden fillers and flavor additives that can sneak in unwanted ingredients, so making your own from scratch puts you completely in control. The mixing technique here is intentionally gentle — just 30 seconds by hand — so the patties stay tender instead of dense and rubbery. A thumb indent in the center of each patty is a small but smart trick that keeps them flat and even as they cook, giving you that satisfying crust on both sides. Avocado oil handles the medium heat beautifully and keeps the whole recipe clean from start to finish. These are the kind of patties that make a weekday morning feel like something worth waking up for.

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.
