Quick Bacon
Scrambled Egg Breakfast Burger

Elevate your morning with this 10-minute breakfast burger. Featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese on a toasted bun.

Ingredients

• 2 burger buns with sesame seeds
• 3 large eggs
• 4 bacon strips
• 1 slice cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 leaf fresh lettuce
• to taste ketchup

Instructions

1. 1Cook the bacon and eggs

   

   In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Pour the whisked egg mixture directly over the bacon in the pan, allowing them to cook together into a soft, fluffy omelet base.

   Tip: For extra fluffiness, whisk a splash of milk into your eggs before pouring.
2. 2Toast the burger buns

   

   Place the burger buns cut-side down into a dry non-stick pan over medium heat. Toast them until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, ensuring they are warm and ready for assembly.

   Tip: Keep a close eye on the buns as they can burn quickly; light golden brown is the goal.
3. 3Prepare the eggs

   

   Crack three eggs into a glass measuring cup and whisk them thoroughly with chopsticks until the yolks and whites are completely combined into a smooth, yellow mixture.

   Tip: Using a measuring cup makes it easy to pour the eggs evenly into the pan later.
4. 4Cook the bacon

   

   Lay the bacon slices into a pre-heated non-stick pan. Cook over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon turns crispy and golden-brown.

   Tip: If the bacon releases too much fat, you can carefully drain some of it before adding the eggs.
5. 5Scramble eggs with bacon

   

   Pour the prepared egg mixture directly over the crispy bacon slices in the pan. Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs until they are set but still soft and moist.

   Tip: Turn the heat down to low once you add the eggs to ensure they stay light and fluffy.
6. 6Add cheese

   

   Place a slice of cheese and some shredded cheese over the scrambled eggs and bacon. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese until it becomes gooey and covers the mixture.

   Tip: Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds if you want the cheese to melt faster.
7. 7Prepare the buns

   

   Carefully slice open your toasted burger buns. Using tongs helps keep your hands away from the hot, crispy surface of the toasted bun.

   Tip: Make sure your buns are lightly toasted for better structure and flavor.
8. 8Add sauce to the bun

   

   Apply a generous drizzle of ketchup onto the inner surface of the toasted bun to provide a tangy contrast to the savory bacon and eggs.

   Tip: You can also mix the ketchup with a little mayonnaise for a creamier sauce.
9. 9Assemble the burger

   

   Build your breakfast burger by placing a fresh, crisp lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the prepared bacon, egg, and cheese mixture. Top with the second half of the bun.

   Tip: Add the lettuce first to protect the bottom bun from getting soggy.
