Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage with salt and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  2. Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that matches the size of your hamburger buns.
  3. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sausage patties onto the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and fully cooked.
  4. While the sausage patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a separate part of the griddle.
  5. In a separate skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the egg whites set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
  6. Place a slice of cheese on each sausage patty and allow it to melt slightly.
  7. Assemble the breakfast burgers by placing a sausage patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a cooked egg and any optional toppings you desire.
  8. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!
