Ingredients
- •Bacon
- •90/10 Ground Beef(454g)
- •Sausage, Pork, Breakfast(227g)
- •Maple syrup(15g)
- •Mustard, Whole Grain(15g)
- •Garlic(10g)
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Cheddar Cheese(170g)
- •Bread, Brioche Bun
- •Egg, Whole, Large
- •Arugula
- •Canola oil
- •Greek Yogurt (2%)(80g)
Plain Greek yogurt — nonfat (0%) or low-fat (2%). Not regular yogurt.
- •Maple syrup(15g)
- •Sriracha sauce(15g)
Instructions
- 1Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and sriracha sauce until smooth. Set aside.
- 3In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork breakfast sausage, maple syrup, whole grain mustard, fresh garlic (minced), salt, and pepper until just combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and gently shape each into a patty about 4½ inches in diameter—avoid overworking the meat.
- 4Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add a light coating of canola oil. Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes without moving them until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the patties and cook for 3–4 minutes more until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F. Top each patty with sharp cheddar in the final minute and cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt. Transfer the burgers to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- 5Lightly toast the brioche buns in the skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board.
- 6In the same skillet, add a touch more canola oil and crack the large eggs into it. Fry over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness (sunny side up or over easy). Cook until the whites are opaque but the yolks remain runny if preferred.
- 7To assemble, spread the sriracha-maple sauce on the bottom of each brioche bun, then layer with arugula, a burger patty with melted cheese, a strip of bacon, and a fried egg. Top with the second half of the bun.
- 8Divide the assembled burgers evenly among 6 serving plates or wrap individually in foil for portioning and storage.
