These savory breakfast patties are the kind of morning upgrade that makes you actually want to get out of bed. Ground pork gets seasoned with fresh chives, minced garlic, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, and dried sage — a combination that smells incredible the moment it hits a hot skillet. The thumb-dimple trick pressed into each patty before cooking is a small detail that makes a real difference, keeping them flat and ensuring even browning all the way through. Cooked in avocado oil over medium heat, they develop a deep golden crust that's genuinely hard to resist. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, these patties are a clean win — every single ingredient is straightforward, with zero hidden nut oils or ambiguous additives to second-guess. Pre-seasoned breakfast sausage from the store often comes loaded with fillers and mystery ingredients, so mixing your own from scratch puts you fully in control of what ends up on your plate. Batch them up, and you've got a protein-packed breakfast ready to go all week long.

Combine the ground pork, chives, garlic, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, dried sage, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until the seasonings 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 and press each into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook flat.
