When it comes to breakfast, I’m most certainly game; I, like most people, I imagine, love breakfast foods, and I have no issue eating foods that are normally associated with breakfast for other meals throughout the day. My husband and I love having breaky for dinner, and while we both thoroughly enjoy our typical fried eggs, hashbrowns and breakfast sausage, I would like to get a bit more creative with some breakfast dishes.
Some folks might pull their nose up at the idea of eating a burger for breakfast, but I’m not one of those people, and if you aren’t, either, then I do encourage you to stick around to check out a recipe from foodnetwork.com to make some fantastic Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Burgers.
“Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
4 slices Cheddar or American cheese
4 soft hamburger buns, split
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
1/3 cup spicy ketchupAdd to Shopping List
“Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shape the beef into 4 patties, each about 5-inches in diameter. Sprinkle the outside of the patties generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Lay the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, until brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off and reserve all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Add the burgers to the skillet, and cook until well browned on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked burgers to a rimmed baking sheet and top each with a slice of cheese. Brush the insides of the buns with the melted butter and put on a second baking sheet buttered side-up. Bake until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes and the buns are lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Break the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put a burger patty on each of the bottom buns and top each with 2 slices of bacon and a fried egg. Spread the top bun with some of the spicy ketchup and put on top of the burger,” the recipe states.
Enjoy, my friends.
