Making this behemoth of a burger is a true labor of love. With 10 layers total, a good amount of prep goes into making this staple of the American Cuisine. That said, the result of your labor should end with you devouring the best burger you’ve ever made!
Start off by forming the burger. Use a circular mold to yield an almost perfect crack free even patty.
If you’re a pickle fan like myself, know that they couldn’t be easier produce. All you need is a bit of hot white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and coriander poured over thinly sliced cucumbers.
After you’ve removed the broiled jalapenos from the oven, deseed them as best you can to avoid an overly spicy burger. A little heat goes a long way.
Blot your sizzling bacon on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Sauté some sliced onions…
…and thinly cut an avocado into a few slices.
Creating an assembly line like this with will make the construction of this colossal burger quick and efficient.
Season your patty with salt and pepper and place it in a sauté pan on high heat.
Top with your favorite cheese. I enjoy swiss on my burger.
Crack one egg into a pan at low heat and slowly cook until all of the whites slightly firm and the yolk is still runny.
Flip the egg over (unless you want a sunny egg) and remove from the heat.
Spread some mayo and dijon mustard to both sides of your toasted bun and then it’s time to layer!
I like to start with the cheesy burger patty, followed by the lettuce, tomato, homemade pickles, sliced avocado, roasted jalapeño, pan-fried egg, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, then finally the top of the bun. Now it’s time to enjoy the best burger of you life!
