Burgers for breakfast? No, this breakfast burger is more for those who want breakfast for dinner. It’s definitely a hefty dinner time sandwich with thick cut bacon, melty cheddar cheese and 1/4lb all-beef patty. Don’t let the English Muffin throw you. It’s my favorite bun option out there for any burger.
Burger for Breakfast
To really hammer home the “breakfast” experience of this breakfast burger, I added fennel seeds to the beef. Fennel is typically found in breakfast sausage, so adding it to the patty hearkens to that flavor profile. Too, the combo of Canadian bacon, cheese and English muffin can’t help but take us all into McMuffin territory.
But you also need a secret sauce and this one has mustard, mayo and maple. The maple makes it. I promise! It’s like honey mustard, but maple mustard. Don’t skimp on it, either. It really pulls the whole thing together.
Throw an egg on it, and you’ve got a meal.
One note about the bacon. I do recommend getting it from the butcher. They’ll make it nice and thick-cut for you. Then, cook it in the oven at 375 for about 20 minutes, or until the fat’s nicely rendered and that bacon is perfectly browned and crispy.
