This breakfast burger recipe is just like your classic, all-American cheeseburger, but with a few breakfast-y additions like pork breakfast sausage, crispy bacon, and a runny fried egg. I like to serve it on a bagel instead of a hamburger bun to really seal the deal!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover breakfast burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or wrapped in aluminum foil in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. I recommend freezing these burgers without any wet toppings, such as tomatoes, lettuce, or avocado, as they will become soggy once defrosted. Reheat gently in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
I always add some mashed avocado or guacamole to my breakfast burgers. I find them super filling, but if you need something extra to serve alongside them, cook up some home fries or avocado fries, or skip the fried egg and make scrambled eggs instead!
How to Make a Breakfast Burger Step by Step
Mix the Patties: In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, ½ pound of pork breakfast sausage, 1½ tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well with your hands. Form and Cook the Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 patties. Place the patties on a plate and season with salt. Heat a large skillet or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then cook the patties for 4 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness. Cook the Eggs and Assemble the Burgers: Remove the patties from the skillet and crack in 6 large eggs, cooking until they reach your desired doneness. Place the patties on 6 bagels, topping each with 1 slice of cheese and a fried egg. Place 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1 slice of tomato, and 1 piece of lettuce on top of each, and any additional toppings you’d like.
