Burger Patty

Toppings

Charred Tomato Sauce

Method

Prepare Charred Tomato Sauce

  1. 1

    Char the tomatoes

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the halved tomatoes with olive oil and place them cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes until charred.

  2. 2

    Make the sauce

    Remove the charred tomatoes from the grill and allow them to cool slightly. In a blender, combine the charred tomatoes, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Cook Pancetta

  1. 3

    Crisp the pancetta

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Cook Burger Patty

  1. 4

    Form the patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 2 equal patties.

  2. 5

    Cook the patties

    In the same skillet used for the pancetta, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

Fry Eggs

  1. 6

    Cook sunny-side-up eggs

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs carefully and cook on low heat for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Build the burger

    On the bottom half of the brioche bun, layer the cooked burger patty, followed by a slice of tomato, crispy pancetta, and a generous spoonful of charred tomato sauce. Top it with the sunny-side-up egg and cover with the other half of the bun.
