This hearty, flavor-packed burger combines crispy bacon, melty cheese, a juicy beef patty, and a runny fried egg, all stacked on a toasted bun. It’s the ultimate breakfast-meets-burger experience! 🍔🥓🍳🔥
Ingredients:
For the Burger Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the Toppings:
- 4 slices bacon, crispy
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for a kick)
- 2 brioche or sesame seed buns
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 slices tomato (optional)
- 2 leaves lettuce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Form into two equal patties, pressing a small indent in the center (this helps them cook evenly).
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
- Add cheese slices on top and cover for 30 seconds to melt.
2. Cook the Bacon & Eggs:
- While the burgers cook, fry bacon in a separate pan until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, fry eggs to your preference (sunny-side up for a runny yolk or over-easy for a firmer yolk).
3. Toast the Buns:
- Spread butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast in a pan until golden brown.
4. Assemble the Burger:
- Spread mayonnaise and BBQ sauce on the bottom bun.
- Add lettuce and tomato (if using).
- Place the cheesy burger patty on top.
- Add crispy bacon slices.
- Carefully place the fried egg on top.
- Cover with the toasted bun top.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve immediately with hash browns, fries, or a side of fresh fruit.
- For extra flavor, add hot sauce or caramelized onions!
🔥 Juicy, cheesy, smoky, and topped with a rich, golden egg—The Cowboy Breakfast Burger is the ultimate indulgence!😋🍳🍔
