Not just the ultimate breakfast burger
An Egg Bacon Cheese Burger smothered in American mustard-mayo pickle and juicy beer-soaked fried onions. The ultimate weekend breakfast or brunch, lunch or dinner or just anytime you fancy a kick-ass burger.
Why you should use a brioche bun
The best choice of bun for a burger due to the light fluffy texture. It allows the crispy bacon, fried egg and crunchy salad to shine through. The slightly sweet taste of the bun also compliments the salty meat and tangy mustard mayo perfectly, creating a great balance of the overall combined flavours.
Beer-Soaked Onions
Why beer-soaked onions? Because it tenderises the onions quickly plus it makes you feel just a little more excited about frying onions.
Gouda Cheese
Gouda cheese comes from Holland and has a wonderful creamy taste that fits very well when melted onto salty meats. If you cannot find Gouda then cheddar would be a great substitute.
Fry your egg very crispy
Heat a frying pan with a very generous amount of oil. When hot, crack the egg into the oil and let it sizzle away. You will see the white of the egg rising and forming little bubbles. Do not flip the egg over; the yolk needs to be runny. Always put salt on your fried egg.
What is American-Mustard?
American Mustard is famous for its bright yellow colour which is created through the use of turmeric. It has a milder flavour compared to classic English and German mustards. The taste of American Mustard is normally associated with hotdogs, cheeseburgers and New York Deli-style sandwiches. It has a lightly sweet, tangy and vinegary flavour. Absolutely delicious!
