In a medium bowl, combine ground pork with garlic powder, onion powder, fennel seeds, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack eggs and cook them to your desired doneness. You can do this one at a time if needed. Set aside when done.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, and add lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
To assemble the sandwich: Lay two large lettuce leaves on a plate to use as the 'bun'.
Spread a quarter of the avocado mash on the bottom lettuce leaf, place one sausage patty on top, then an egg, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and a tomato slice. Cover with another lettuce leaf.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Sausage Egg and Cheese (Lettuce Wrapped) Sandwich!
