Homemade Bacon, Egg,
Sausage Breakfast Burger

A hearty breakfast burger stacked with crispy bacon, savory sausages, melted cheese, and a fluffy egg omelet, all assembled in a single pan for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 burger buns with sesame seeds
• 2 large eggs
• 4 strips bacon
• 2 hot dog sausages
• 2 slices cheddar or American cheese
• 2 leaves lettuce
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• to taste salt

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the egg wash

   

   Begin by cracking two fresh eggs into a glass measuring cup or bowl. Prepare all your ingredients on the counter, including the burger buns, bacon, lettuce, and cheese, to ensure a smooth assembly process later.

   Tip: Cracking eggs into a measuring cup with a spout makes it much easier to pour the liquid into the pan later without making a mess.
2. 2Season the eggs

   

   Beat the eggs thoroughly with a whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a small spoonful of salt to the mixture to enhance the savory flavor of the omelet layers.

   Tip: Dont over-salt here, as the bacon and cheese will already add a significant amount of saltiness to the final burger.
3. 3Cook the egg layer

   

   Lightly brush a hot non-stick pan with a small amount of cooking oil. Pour the seasoned egg liquid into the center of the pan, allowing it to spread out into a thin, even layer.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is preheated on medium heat so the egg starts setting immediately upon contact, which helps in creating a fluffy texture.
4. 4Section the omelet

   

   Once the thin omelet has fully set in the pan, use the edge of your spatula to cut it into four equal quadrants. Dividing it now while its in the pan makes it easier to handle and ensures each burger gets a perfectly sized portion of egg.

   Tip: Use a silicone or nylon spatula to avoid scratching the non-stick surface of your pan while cutting.
5. 5Fry the bacon strips

   

   Place the raw bacon strips into a preheated pan over medium heat. Use tongs to arrange them so they do not overlap, allowing the fat to render out evenly. Fry the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, then flip to cook the other side.

   Tip: Starting bacon in a pan that is not too hot helps the fat melt away slowly, resulting in a crunchier texture.
6. 6Prep the sausages

   

   While the bacon is rendering its fat in the pan, take your hot dog sausages and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. This increases the surface area for browning and helps them sit flat inside the burger.

   Tip: Slicing them lengthwise ensures they dont roll out of your burger when you take a bite.
7. 7Toast the burger buns

   

   Move the sausages to one side and place the halved burger buns cut side down in the pan. Toast them in the residual heat and bacon fat for about a minute until the surfaces are golden brown and slightly crispy. This prevents the buns from becoming soggy once the burger is assembled.

   Tip: The bacon fat in the pan acts like butter, giving the toasted buns a rich, savory flavor.
8. 8Layer the fresh lettuce

   

   Take the bottom half of a toasted bun and place a clean, dry leaf of green lettuce on top. This first layer adds a fresh crunch and serves as a base for the warm ingredients to follow.

   Tip: Always dry your lettuce thoroughly after washing to keep the toasted bun crispy.
9. 9Add the crispy bacon

   

   Carefully place a piece of the freshly fried, browned bacon on top of the lettuce layer. If youre adding sauces like ketchup or mustard, you can drizzle them over the bacon now for maximum flavor in every bite.

   Tip: Fold or cut the bacon strips to fit the size of the bun so they dont slide out while eating.
10. 10Top with cheese

    

    Place a square slice of yellow American or cheddar cheese over the hot bacon. The heat from the bacon will immediately start to soften the cheese, making it creamy and delicious.

    Tip: For a perfect melt, you can briefly cover the burger with a lid for 10 seconds while its still in the warm pan.
11. 11Layer the sausages

    

    Using tongs, place the halved hot dog sausages onto the cheese slice on your burger. The residual heat from the freshly fried sausages will help soften the cheese, creating a gooey layer that binds the toppings together.

    Tip: Arrange the sausages parallel to each other to create a stable, flat surface for the egg layer that follows.
12. 12Add the fried egg layer

    

    Place the portioned fried egg on top of the hot dog sausages to complete the layers. This egg adds a soft, savory texture that complements the crispy bacon and melted cheese. With all the fillings stacked, the burger is ready for the final top bun.

    Tip: If you want a meltier finish, place the egg on the cheese while its still hot to help the cheese soften further.
13. 13Finish and serve

    

    Place the top half of the toasted sesame bun over the egg layer to complete the burger. Press down gently to stabilize the layers and serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the buns are still warm.

    Tip: If the egg has cooled down, you can briefly toss it back in the warm pan for a few seconds before adding it to the burger.
