Breakfast Burger

Ingredients

• •500 g lean ground beef (80/20)
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •8 thick-cut bacon strips
• •1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• •4 large eggs
• •1 tbsp butter
• •4 cheddar cheese slices
• •3 tbsp mayonnaise
• •1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• •4 English muffins
• •1 cup baby spinach or arugula
• •1 ripe tomato, sliced

Directions

1. 1Cook bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6–7 minutes; brush with maple syrup in the last minute, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
2. 2Divide ground beef into 4 loosely packed balls (about 125 g each) and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. 3Increase skillet heat to high; working in batches, place a ball in the skillet and immediately smash flat with a spatula to about 1 cm thick; cook 2–3 minutes until a deep crust forms.
4. 4Flip each patty, immediately lay a cheddar slice on top, and cook 1–2 more minutes; remove and tent with foil.
5. 5Reduce heat to medium; melt butter in the skillet and fry eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, 2–3 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. 6Stir together mayonnaise and chipotle adobo to make chipotle mayo.
7. 7Toast English muffins in a toaster or in the skillet cut-side down for 1–2 minutes.
8. 8Spread chipotle mayo on both muffin halves, then layer spinach, tomato, cheesy patty, two bacon strips, and fried egg; serve immediately.

💡 Chipotle peppers in adobo are available in the international aisle at most Canadian grocery stores (Old El Paso or La Morena brands). Sub with 1/2 tsp smoked paprika plus a dash of hot sauce if unavailable. For a runnier yolk that acts as a sauce, go sunny-side up.
