The Ultimate Egg Bacon Cheese Breakfast Burger

This isn’t just any old egg bacon cheese burger—it’s a bold, flavour-packed masterpiece. Crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, melted Gouda cheese, and juicy beer-soaked onions all layered inside a soft, buttery brioche bun. Smothered in tangy American mustard-mayo and finished with pickles and crunchy salad, it’s the ultimate bite for brunch, lunch, dinner—or whenever you’re craving a seriously kick-ass burger.

Why Brioche, Beer-Soaked Onions & American Mustard Make All the Difference

A brioche bun is the best burger base thanks to its light texture and subtle sweetness, which balances salty meats and tangy sauces beautifully. Beer-soaked onions add a rich depth of flavour while softening quickly, and American mustard brings that signature mild, slightly sweet zing that ties it all together. For extra flavour, fry your egg in plenty of hot oil until crispy on the edges—don’t flip it! And if you can’t find Gouda, melty cheddar works great too.
