Whole 30 Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Pork Breakfast Patties

Breakfast just got a serious upgrade. These savory pork patties are seasoned with a homemade everything-style blend — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a hit of flaky sea salt — so every bite has that bold, everything-bagel-adjacent flavor without a single off-plan ingredient in sight. Store-bought breakfast sausage is notoriously tricky territory, often loaded with sugar, fillers, or mystery seasonings that can derail a reset before the week is even over. Making your own takes about ten minutes of hands-on time and gives you complete control over what goes into the pan. The trick is not overworking the meat — a quick 30-second mix keeps the patties tender rather than dense — and that thumb indent in the center ensures they cook up flat and even. Seared in avocado oil over medium heat, they develop a deep golden crust that makes them feel genuinely satisfying rather than like a compromise. Makes 8 patties total, so four people can sit down to a real breakfast or you can stash extras for the week ahead.

1 tsp sesame seeds
½ tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp dried minced garlic
1 tsp dried minced onion
¾ tsp flaky sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp avocado oil

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.
2
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.
