Equipment
- Burger press optional
- Cast iron grill pan optional
Ingredients
The Buns
- 2 English muffins
The Patties
- 2 Classic Burger Patties*
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
The Toppings
- 1 small avocado mashed
- 2 fried eggs seasoned with salt & pepper
- 4 strips bacon cooked
- 2 scoops Hash Browns see below
- Chipotle mayo or hot sauce (optional)
Hash Browns
- ½ tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small russet potato grated or shredded
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the Hash Browns. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add grated potato and season with salt & pepper. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until crisped.* Transfer to a paper-towel lined dish to drain.
- Prepare the Classic Burger Patties, topping with cheddar cheese about halfway through cooking.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the English muffins and prepare the fried eggs.
- Once all the components are ready, assemble the Brunch Burgers! Spread mashed avocado on the bottom half of each English muffin, place burger patties on top, then top each with a fried egg, 2 strips of bacon, a scoop of hash browns, and a drizzle of hot sauce or chipotle mayo if desired.* Top with English muffin tops and serve with a cold beer, a side, and enjoy!
Notes
Classic Burger Patties: This is our favorite recipe for homemade burgers. Get the recipe here or use your favorite burger patties - store-bought, frozen, whatever!
Frying the hash browns: It's tempting to stir the potatoes around a lot as they cook, but try to resist! Let them sit for minutes at a time until they get nice and crispy, then stir them and break them up a bit to make sure they crisp evenly. (This is also a great time to fry up the bacon if you don't have it ready ahead of time).
Optional toppings: I topped my burger with hot sauce, and Nicole used chipotle mayo. But this is a brunch burger, so if you like ketchup and eggs go for it! Or whatever other condiment your heart desires. Customization is one of the best things about burgers!
