These savory breakfast patties are packed with the bold, toasty flavor of everything seasoning — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion — pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. The result is a crispy-edged, flavor-loaded patty that feels indulgent but is completely clean and compliant with Whole30 guidelines. Many store-bought breakfast sausages and seasoning blends sneak in anti-caking agents, fillers, or spice mixes that can include unwanted ingredients, so making your own from scratch puts you fully in control. The spice blend here is straightforward and naturally free of anything inflammatory or off-limits — just pantry staples that come together in seconds. A quick thumb indent in the center of each patty is the kind of small trick that makes a real difference, keeping them flat and evenly cooked all the way through. Searing them undisturbed in a hot skillet is the key to that irresistible golden crust that makes these so satisfying alongside eggs or roasted vegetables. Batch-friendly and easy to reheat, these are the kind of patties that make weekday mornings feel a lot more worth getting 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.
