Ingredients

burgers

  • 8 slices bacon cooked to your liking
  • 4 oz gouda sliced into four 1 oz pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 large shallots sliced
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 lb lean ground beef I used 93% lean
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 eggs cooked sunny side up + butter to cook them in (how to video here)
  • 4 brioche buns

maple dijon aioli

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • juice from half a lemon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • a healthy pinch of sea salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250F. Cook bacon. Slice your gouda.
  2. Caramelize your shallots: Melt two tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced shallots and brown sugar then sauté for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Cook the burgers: Add ground beef to a large bowl then season with salt and pepper. Form four equal sized patties then cook as desired. I cooked mine on a cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side. Add sliced gouda on top of patties when they have two minutes left.
  4. Cook eggs while burgers are cooking.
  5. Make your maple dijon aioli: In a medium bowl, whisk together maple syrup, dijon, whole grain mustard, egg yolk, and lemon juice until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until the mixture comes together completely. Taste and season with sea salt and pepper.
  6. Toast buns: Place tops and bottoms of buns in the oven preheated to 250F for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from oven and set on plates.
  7. Assemble burgers: Spread a spoonful of aioli on the top and bottom of each bun. Top each bottom bun with one patty, a large spoonful of caramelized shallots, one sunny side up, and finally, two pieces of bacon broken.
  8. EATTTTTTT.
