Homemade Bacon
Egg Breakfast Burger

A café-quality breakfast at home featuring crispy bacon, a thin-folded omelet, and melted cheddar on a toasted sesame bun for the ultimate morning indulgence.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• 4 strips bacon
• 1 ham sausage (sliced)
• 1 sesame burger bun (halved)
• 1 leaf lettuce
• 1 slice cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1Crack the eggs

   

   Start by cracking two fresh eggs into a glass measuring cup or a small bowl. These will form the folded omelet layer of our breakfast burger.

   Tip: Using a measuring cup makes it easier to pour the beaten eggs into the pan later.
2. 2Season and beat the eggs

   

   Add a pinch of salt to the eggs for a savory base flavor. Using a small whisk or fork, beat the yolks and whites together vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.

   Tip: Dont overbeat the eggs; just mix until the whites and yolks are uniformly blended.
3. 3Oil the pan

   

   Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, use a silicone brush to spread a thin, even layer of cooking oil across the surface to prevent the eggs from sticking.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding the eggs so they set quickly rather than absorbing the oil.
4. 4Pour the egg mixture

   

   Pour the beaten egg mixture into the center of the heated pan. Quickly tilt or swirl the pan so the eggs spread out into a thin, even layer across the entire bottom.

   Tip: Work quickly while the pan is hot to get a thin, crepe-like omelet layer.
5. 5Divide the egg omelet

   

   Once the egg mixture has solidified in the hot pan, use the edge of a spatula to divide the thin omelet into four equal quarters. These manageable pieces are sized perfectly to serve as a soft, savory layer within your burger.

   Tip: Wait for the egg to be fully set before cutting to ensure clean lines and prevent the omelet from tearing.
6. 6Fry the bacon

   

   Place the bacon strips into the pan over medium heat. Fry them until the fat renders out and the edges become crispy and golden brown.

   Tip: Cook the bacon to your desired crispness but avoid burning the edges for the best flavor.
7. 7Prepare and fry the ham

   

   Remove the ham sausage from its packaging and slice it into pieces. Add these to the pan with the sizzling bacon, allowing them to fry in the rendered bacon fat until they become fragrant and slightly browned.

   Tip: Slicing the ham sausage lengthwise provides more surface area for browning, which enhances both the texture and flavor.
8. 8Toast the burger buns

   

   Place the sesame burger bun halves face down into the pan using the remaining heat and oil. Toast them until the cut surfaces are golden brown and fragrant. This process creates a crispy texture that prevents the bread from becoming soggy once the wet ingredients are added.

   Tip: Watch the buns closely as they can go from golden to burnt in just a few seconds.
9. 9Layer the lettuce and bacon

   

   Begin the assembly by placing a fresh, crisp lettuce leaf onto the bottom half of the toasted bun. Follow this with a layer of the fried bacon. The lettuce adds a refreshing crunch that perfectly complements the salty, savory bacon.

   Tip: Pat the lettuce dry with a paper towel before adding it to keep the bun crispy.
10. 10Add the Cheese

    

    Continue assembling the burger by placing a square slice of yellow cheese directly over the warm bacon and lettuce layer. Building the burger in the warm pan helps the residual heat gently soften the cheese for a better texture.

    Tip: Adding the cheese while the surrounding ingredients are still hot is key to getting that perfect, slightly melted consistency.
11. 11Layer the fried ham

    

    Using tongs, place the browning ham sausage slices directly onto the cheese layer. The heat from the ham will help the cheese melt further into the bacon below.

    Tip: For an extra melty result, briefly cover the pan with a lid for about twenty seconds.
12. 12Add the egg layer

    

    Take one of your prepared egg omelet quarters and place it on top of the ham. This adds a light and fluffy contrast to the savory meats.

    Tip: Fold the egg piece slightly if it is wider than the bun to keep the assembly neat and easy to eat.
13. 13Finish the assembly

    

    Place the toasted top sesame bun onto the stacked ingredients. Give the burger a gentle press to secure the layers before serving immediately.

    Tip: Serve the meal right away to ensure the bun stays crisp and the cheese remains perfectly melted.
