- 1 tablespoon of garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon of fresh parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
- 1½ tablespoons of freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of white pepper
- 1 tablespoon of dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely chopped

Breakfast Burger
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce mixed into the beef for extra umami flavor
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 pound of ground beef chuck
- 8 slices of crispy bacon
- 4 small brioche hamburger buns
- 4 teaspoons of unsalted butter
- 4 hash brown patties frozen or freshly made
Instructions
- Let’s break down the creation of this burger step by step:
Step 1: Prepare the Pepper Sauce
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the creamy pepper sauce. Mix until smooth. Allow it to chill in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the meal. This quick sauce packs a flavorful punch and adds creaminess to the burger.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove it from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Keep the bacon drippings in the pan; we’re going to use that flavor later.
Step 3: Form and Cook the Patties
- Take the ground beef chuck and mix in the Worcestershire sauce. Form four equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the patties in the same skillet until they reach your desired level of doneness. This adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
- In another pan, cook the eggs sunny-side up or however you like. A perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk adds richness to your burger.
Step 5: Toast the Buns
- Melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the brioche buns until golden brown. This magic step makes them a delightful base for the ingredients.
Step 6: Assemble the Burger
- Start with the bottom bun. Add the beef patty, a slice of bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, and top with cheddar cheese. Drizzle the creamy pepper sauce over the top. Finish with the top bun and enjoy!
Notes
- Cook the patties slowly. Cook the beef over medium heat. This helps retain juices and flavor.
- Opt for fresh ingredients. Fresh, high-quality eggs and bacon transform the experience.
- Don’t over-cook the eggs. A runny yolk elevates the burger’s flavor profile significantly.
- Experiment with sauces. Try different sauces to add another layer of flavor. Find out what suits your taste buds best.
- Make ahead. Prep components like the pepper sauce or bacon in advance to streamline your morning.
