Savory, herby, and packed with that irresistible everything-bagel flavor, these pork breakfast patties are the kind of morning upgrade that makes you actually want to get out of bed. Ground pork gets loaded with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt before being pressed into perfectly portioned rounds and seared in avocado oil until deeply golden. The whole process is straightforward — mix, shape, and cook in a hot skillet, no special equipment required. For anyone navigating a wheat-free lifestyle, store-bought breakfast sausage can be a minefield of fillers and hidden grain-based binders, but every single ingredient here is naturally free of that concern. The thumb-indent trick keeps the patties flat as they cook, so you get an even sear all the way across rather than a domed, unevenly cooked center. They hit 160°F and come out juicy on the inside with a satisfying crust on the outside — the kind of patty that pairs just as well with eggs and roasted vegetables as it does on its own straight from the pan.

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.
