Chinese-Style Sausage
Egg Breakfast Burger

A quick and savory Chinese-style breakfast burger featuring juicy steam-fried sausages, a flavorful scallion omelet, and melted cheese in a toasted bun.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen burger bun (sesame topped)
• 1 pack (200g) juicy small sausages (e.g., cocktail or breakfast sausages)
• 1 egg
• 1 slice cheese (e.g., Cheddar or American)
• 1 tbsp frozen green onions (chopped)
• 1 tsp chili oil
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp chia seed sesame salt
• to taste black pepper
• 1 tbsp honey mustard sauce
• optional cooking oil spray

Instructions

1. 1Pan-fry the burger bun

   

   Place the frozen burger bun in a non-stick pan and pan-fry over medium heat until the exterior is warmed and slightly toasted. This ensures the bun is soft and ready for the filling.

   Tip: Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the sesame seeds on the bun.
2. 2Steam the sausages

   

   Add the package of juicy sausages to the pan alongside the bun. Pour in a small amount of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat. This steam-cooks the sausages thoroughly while keeping them moist.

   Tip: Adding water allows the sausages to cook evenly and prevents them from drying out or burning.
3. 3Prepare the seasoned egg mixture

   

   Crack an egg into a small pot and add a splash of water to make it more tender. Whisk in chili oil, chili powder, chia seed sesame salt, and frozen green onions to create a flavorful egg base.

   Tip: Whisking thoroughly ensures the seasonings are well-distributed throughout the egg.
4. 4Cut and fry the sausages

   

   After the sausages have softened, remove the bun from the pan. Spray a little oil in the pan and use scissors to cut the sausages open, exposing the interior, and fry them until they turn golden brown.

   Tip: Cutting the sausages helps them cook faster and develop a crispy, golden surface.
5. 5Cook the egg and sausages

   

   Pour the seasoned egg mixture into the pan with the golden-brown sausages. Cook over low heat until the egg is set.

   Tip: Keep the heat low so the egg cooks gently without burning the bottom.
6. 6Melt the cheese

   

   Once the egg is set, place a slice of cheese on top of the egg and sausage mixture. Sprinkle with black pepper, cover the pan with a lid for a moment, and allow the cheese to melt completely.

   Tip: The residual heat from the eggs and the covered pan is enough to melt the cheese perfectly.
7. 7Slice the bun

   

   Take the toasted burger bun and carefully cut it in half using scissors. This ensures a clean cut for assembling the burger with the prepared filling.

   Tip: Using kitchen scissors is a quick and precise way to split soft buns without squashing them.
8. 8Apply sauce and assemble

   

   Take the cut bun halves and drizzle a generous amount of honey mustard sauce onto the interior sides before assembling the burger with your egg and sausage filling. This adds a tangy and sweet flavor profile to the final dish.

   Tip: Drizzle in a zigzag pattern to ensure even coverage across the bun surface.
