Burger

Brown Sugar Maple Aioli

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Brown Sugar Maple Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, brown sugar, maple syrup, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Angus Beef Patty

    In the same skillet, cook the Angus beef patty to your desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium. Add cheddar cheese on top during the last minute to melt.

  4. 4

    Cook the Egg

    In a separate pan, fry the egg over easy until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.

  6. 6

    Toast the Bolo Bread

    Lightly toast the bolo bread or bun in the skillet until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Breakfast Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted bolo, spread a generous amount of the brown sugar maple aioli. Add the beef patty with melted cheddar, followed by the crispy bacon, avocado slices, and the over easy egg. Top with the other half of the bread.

  2. 8

    Serve with Home Fries

    Serve the breakfast burger with a side of home fries for a complete meal.
