Bacon Egg and Cheese Smashburger

Discover a delicious twist on a classic with this Bacon Egg and Cheese Smashburger, bursting with savory flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, 80% lean
• 4 brioche buns
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 8 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into loosely packed balls.
3. Place each beef ball on the hot skillet and use a spatula to press them flat into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a crust and are cooked to desired doneness.
5. During the last minute of cooking the patties, top each with a slice of cheddar cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
6. In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and fry the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up or over easy).
7. Toast the brioche buns in the same skillet until golden brown.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a cheeseburger patty on the bottom bun, followed by bacon slices, a fried egg, and the top bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Bacon Egg and Cheese Smashburger.
