Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Toast the burger buns
    Buttered burger buns toasting in a pan until golden brown.

    Take buttered burger buns and place them into a preheated pan. Toast until the cut sides are golden brown and crisp, creating a delicious base for your breakfast burger.

    Tip: Watch them closely; they can go from golden to burnt in seconds.
  2. 2Prepare the eggs
    Fresh eggs being cracked into a glass measuring cup, ready to be beaten.

    Crack the eggs into a glass measuring cup or small bowl. Beating the eggs thoroughly ensures a fluffy and even texture when cooked.

    Tip: If you dont have chopsticks on hand, a small whisk or a simple fork works perfectly to beat the eggs.
  3. 3Fry the bacon
    Strips of bacon frying in a hot pan, with tongs turning one of the lightly browned slices.

    Place the bacon strips flat in a pan and cook over medium heat. Fry them until they turn crispy and golden brown, turning occasionally with tongs for an even cook.

    Tip: Starting with a cold pan helps the fat render out slowly, which results in crispier bacon.
  4. 4Cook the bacon and eggs
    A pan containing cooked bacon with a beaten egg mixture being poured over it.

    Once the bacon is cooked to your preference in the pan, pour the beaten egg mixture directly over the bacon. Let the eggs set slightly before folding them together to create a cohesive bacon and egg patty.

    Tip: Keep the heat medium-low to ensure the eggs stay fluffy and dont brown too quickly.
  5. 5Add the cheese
    A square slice of yellow cheese being carefully placed onto a fully cooked bacon and egg omelet inside a frying pan.

    Once the egg and bacon mixture is fully cooked and set in the pan, lay slices of yellow cheese directly on top. The residual heat from the pan will gently melt the cheese, binding the savory burger filling together.

    Tip: Covering the pan with a lid for just a few seconds can trap the steam and help the cheese melt faster.
  6. 6Sauce the bun
    A hand squeezing a continuous zigzag pattern of bright red tomato ketchup from a bottle onto the inside of a toasted burger bun.

    Take the toasted burger bun halves and generously squeeze tomato ketchup over the inside surfaces. You can leave it as a zigzag drizzle or spread it evenly, depending on your preference.

    Tip: Toasting the inside of the buns with a little butter beforehand creates a barrier so they wont get soggy from the ketchup.
  7. 7Assemble the burger
    A breakfast burger being assembled with fresh lettuce and a cooked bacon-egg-cheese patty inside toasted buns.

    Place a fresh lettuce leaf onto the bottom toasted bun, then layer on the warm bacon-egg-cheese mixture. Top with the second bun to complete your quick and nutritious breakfast burger.

    Tip: Add a slice of your favorite cheese on top of the eggs while they are still in the pan to get it perfectly melted.

Frequently Asked Questions

While best eaten fresh, you can cook the bacon and egg patties ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Reheat briefly in a pan and assemble with fresh buns and lettuce when ready to serve.
The secret is low heat and constant, gentle folding. Pouring the eggs over the cooked bacon adds great savory depth without needing extra seasoning.
Classic cheddar or American cheese works best because they melt quickly and create a creamy binder for the eggs and bacon.
