Ultimate Homemade Bacon
Egg Breakfast Burger

Elevate your breakfast with this towering homemade burger. Loaded with crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, fresh vegetables, and melted cheese, it is the ultimate morning indulgence.

Ingredients

• 2 hamburger buns
• 4 reduced-fat bacon strips
• 2 eggs
• 2 cheese slices
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 lettuce head
• 2 tbsp honey mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 sausage link, sliced

Instructions

1. 1Fry the bacon

   

   Place the reduced-fat bacon strips into a frying pan over medium heat. Fry them until they are crispy and lightly browned on both sides.

   Tip: For the best texture, ensure the pan is preheated before adding the bacon.
2. 2Fry the eggs

   

   Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until the whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.

   Tip: Cover the pan for a minute if you prefer the yolk slightly set.
3. 3Toast the buns

   

   Place the cut sides of the hamburger buns into a dry frying pan. Toast over medium heat until they are golden brown and toasted to your liking.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the buns as they can toast very quickly.
4. 4Slice the tomatoes

   

   Using a sharp knife, slice two fresh tomatoes into even, thin rounds on a wooden cutting board.

   Tip: Use a serrated knife to get cleaner slices without crushing the tomato.
5. 5Apply sauces

   

   Take the toasted bun bases and spread a layer of honey mustard on the cut surface, followed by a generous squeeze of mayonnaise.

   Tip: Spread the sauce all the way to the edges for a flavorful bite.
6. 6Add mayonnaise

   

   Squeeze a generous amount of mayonnaise over the honey mustard layer on the bun.

   Tip: Use a squeeze bottle for better control of the sauce distribution.
7. 7Layer the fresh lettuce

   

   Place fresh, crisp lettuce leaves onto the base bun. This adds a refreshing crunch and a vibrant color contrast to your burger.

   Tip: If the lettuce leaves are large, you can tear them to fit the bun size perfectly.
8. 8Add sauce layers

   

   Drizzle ketchup over the layered ingredients as you build the burger to add a tangy, sweet balance to the savory bacon and egg.

   Tip: Use a steady hand to create an even drizzle across the surface of the lettuce.
9. 9Add the crispy bacon

   

   Place the previously fried bacon slices onto the burger assembly. The savory, salty flavor of the bacon complements the fresh vegetables perfectly.

   Tip: If the bacon slices are too long, fold them gently so they sit securely within the bun perimeter.
10. 10Add the cheese

    

    Place a slice of cheese over the hot cooked ingredients. The residual heat from the bacon and egg will melt the cheese for a creamy, cohesive finish.

    Tip: Make sure the cheese is centered to ensure balanced coverage in every bite.
