Breakfast Burger Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

2. 2

   Form the Beef Patties

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Beef Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   Immediately after flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Fry the Eggs

   In a separate skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or to your preference. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Toast the English Muffins

   While the eggs are cooking, split the English muffins in half and toast them in the same skillet or a toaster until golden brown.

7. 7

   Assemble the Breakfast Burger

   Spread ketchup on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Layer with a beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of crispy bacon, and a fried egg. Add optional avocado slices if desired. Top with the other half of the muffin.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the breakfast burgers warm with your choice of sides.
