Start your day with the ultimate indulgence—a brunch burger piled high with crispy bacon, melty cheese, and a perfectly runny egg. This burger brings together the best of breakfast and lunch in one drool-worthy bite.
🍴 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- Salt and black pepper
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 4 brioche or potato burger buns, toasted
- Butter or oil for frying
- Optional: avocado, sautéed onions, arugula, or hash browns
🔥 Instructions
Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Form and Cook the Patties:
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Season generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness. Top each with a slice of cheese in the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
Fry the Eggs:
In a nonstick skillet with a little butter or oil, fry the eggs sunny side up or over easy, keeping the yolks slightly runny.
Assemble the Burgers:
Place a cheesy burger patty on each toasted bun bottom. Top with crispy bacon, fried egg, and any extras you love. Crown with the top bun and serve hot.
