A savory, indulgent breakfast‑style burger with crispy bacon, gooey egg, crunchy hash rounds and melty cheese—perfect for recovering after a late night.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 burger 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 beef patty (¼ lb) or turkey/plant‑based patty
  • 1 folded egg (or tofu scramble)
  • 2 strips of bacon or veggie bacon
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese (or cheddar/vegan)
  • 46 hash rounds (or home fries/hash browns)
  • 1 tbsp special sauce (spicy mayo or aioli)
  • 1 seeded burger bun (or brioche/whole wheat)

Instructions

  1. Grill or pan‑fry the beef patty until fully cooked.
  2. Cook bacon strips until crispy. Set aside.
  3. Fry or bake the hash rounds until golden and crunchy.
  4. Scramble or fold your egg into a soft, round shape.
  5. Toast the bun and apply sauce on both sides.
  6. Assemble the burger: bottom bun → hash rounds → patty → egg → bacon → cheese → top bun.

Notes

Optional: add jalapeños or guacamole for a spicy twist, or swap Swiss for pepper jack. Serve with sweet potato fries, tater tots, and a bloody Mary or cold brew for the full experience.
