These savory breakfast patties are packed with bold, everything-bagel-inspired flavor — sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion — all pressed into juicy ground pork and seared until deeply golden in avocado oil. Since yeast is a common hidden ingredient in many processed breakfast sausages and seasoning blends, making your own from scratch is the smartest move, and this recipe keeps every single ingredient clean and straightforward. There's no casing, no filler, and no mystery — just real spices mixed right into the meat with your hands. The trick of pressing a small indent into each patty before cooking helps them stay flat and cook evenly, so you get that gorgeous crust on both sides without any fuss. Eight portioned patties come together quickly and hit the pan in batches for a proper sear rather than a steam, which makes all the difference in texture. Serve them straight from the skillet while they're still sizzling and you'll wonder why you ever reached for a frozen breakfast sausage in the first place.

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.
