How To Make One-Pan Egg Breakfast Burger
- Cook the Bacon – Start by placing your bacon strips in a cold pan. Turn the heat to medium and cook until they’re golden and crispy. Set them aside on a paper towel to drain.
- Toast the Buns – In a separate dry pan (no oil needed), toast both halves of the burger bun cut-side down until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
- Prep the Eggs – In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with chili flakes, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
- Cook the Eggs & Add the Buns -Lightly oil a non-stick pan and pour in the egg mixture over medium-low heat. Let the eggs begin to set. Before they’re fully cooked, place the top bun half cut side down and the bottom bun half facing up directly onto the eggs.
- Flip It – Once the egg is mostly set and golden underneath, gently flip the whole thing so the buns are now on the bottom and the cooked egg is on top.
- Add Your Fillings – While everything is still warm in the pan, layer on a slice of cheddar cheese, a fresh lettuce leaf, three crispy bacon strips, two slices of tomato, and two red onion rings.
- Fold & Finish – Carefully fold the buns together into a sandwich. Press lightly and let it sit in the pan for about 30 seconds to warm through and let the cheese melt.
- Serve & Enjoy – Plate your burger and dig in while it’s hot, melty, and absolutely delicious.
Tips for Success
- Use a non-stick pan to make flipping the buns and eggs easier without sticking or breaking.
- Cook the bacon first so it’s nice and crispy, then use the same pan for that extra flavor when toasting the buns and cooking the eggs.
- Keep the heat medium-low when cooking the eggs to get that perfect soft, tender texture without burning.
- Be gentle when flipping—try sliding a spatula under the buns and eggs all at once for a smooth flip.
- Let the cheese melt by pressing the sandwich lightly and giving it a quick extra minute in the pan.
- Feel free to customize! Add avocado, hot sauce, or your favorite greens for an extra kick.
Customizations Tips
- Add a spoon of spicy mayo or sriracha for extra heat
- Swap cheddar with gouda or mozzarella for a different cheese vibe
- Not a fan of raw onion? Lightly sauté it for sweetness
- Want it vegetarian? Skip the bacon and add avocado or grilled mushrooms
