The BEST Breakfast Burger!
Seriously though, this burger is about to change your life forever. And possibly waistline. But more so life. Anyway, here’s why I think you’ll love it:
ACTUALLY a breakfast burger – Not just a burger with a fried egg! (the shade 🤭) Packed with flavour – With 7 different layers this breaky burger sure packs a punch in the flavour department! EASY! – Can you fry an egg? Okay cool, you’re good to go.
This recipe is based on making 6 burgers, so perfect for feeding a crowd. They’re also lower maintenance than you may assume, as you only need one pan!
Breakfast Beef Burger
I did toy around with the idea of using sausage, which I guess is more of a ‘breakfast’ choice. But seeing as there are a good amount of ingredients in this that suggest breakfast, I went for beef. As the beef burger is the star of the show, it’s important to treat it right.
Top Tips for the Perfect Beef Burger
High Fat – Great juicy beef burgers actually only have one ingredient, beef. One condition, it HAS to be high fat. At least 20%. Room Temp – Make sure your beef is room temp before you fry it. If it’s cold, the meat will seize up and be chewy. Don’t Overwork – When forming your patties, just make sure you don’t overwork the meat, otherwise they’ll come out tough and gritty.
When it comes to cooking the burger, it’s gotta be pan fry. Unless it’s summer then you can BBQ. But I live in Edinburgh so it’s always pan fry. sighs

Breakfast Burger Toppings
English Muffins – Make the perfect burger buns! Toasted of course. Mayo – Sriracha Mayo to be exact. See recipe card for subs. Hash Browns – But a quicker lazier version! Smashed Avocado – Smashed, not mashed 😏 Bacon – Smoked streaky bacon FTW! Cheeseburger – I always go for cheddar, but do follow your heart. Fried Egg – Sunny-side-up!
When it comes to the order of toppings, you can totally freestyle if you want. I recommend the egg at the end, just so the yolk oozes out all over the burger. Also put the burger in the middle so it’s equally sandwiched with fillings. For reference, here’s my order: Muffin -> Mayo -> Hash -> Avo -> Bacon -> Burger -> Egg -> Muffin.
Oh crikey, I’m starving all over again now. And yes, yes I did polish 3 of these off to myself… No regrets! 😁 If you like the look of this recipe I reckon you’ll love these too:
