Breakfast Burger

Enjoy breakfast for dinner or dinner for breakfast with this over-the-top delicious Breakfast Burger recipe. Juicy beef-and-sausage patties are topped with bacon, melty cheddar, and a runny egg with creamy maple sriracha sauce on toasted brioche buns. It doesn’t get much better than this!
These breakfast burgers come fully loaded with some of the best burger fixin’s (ahem, bacon), and their flavor is downright addictive too.
Even though its title is “breakfast burger,” this recipe is appropriate at all times of day. We had ours for “brinner” with a simple Arugula Salad. Since the breakfast burger patties are made with ground beef, they are a protein-packed meal, and the “extras” (bacon, that glorious egg) keep them indulgent enough for bonafide weekend brunch or afternoon cookout.
A TRUE Brunch. Brunch = breakfast + lunch, but usually it just means eating breakfast foods a little bit later in the morning. But these burgers truly combine the best of both meals into one epic bite.
Ultra-Juicy Patties. Beef and sausage keep the burgers tender, juicy, and flavorful.
Epic Toppings. To complement those juicy patties, we go all out with a creamy sriracha maple sauce, peppery arugula, melty sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, and a fried egg (I like ’em runny, but you do you).
