It’s going to be your new best friend this summer and compete for the BEST burger ever. Right up there with our just released Taco Burger. I’m not sure which one will win. They have a special place in my heart.
This burger with fried egg was a long time coming. I really owe most of the credit to my husband.
What on earth took my that long?
I was swooning. I was following suite and ordering every single burger with fried egg on every menu in a 60 mile radius. Priorities people.
My dreams were filled with my sinking my teeth into a juicy burger that was topped with a fried egg. To be specific an over easy egg that was cooked to perfection and left me with a mess. Don’t worry that mess didn’t bother me a bit.
Cheeseburger with Fried Egg
After treating myself to a few to many of these burgers I started to ponder just why I haven’t created my own cheeseburger with fried egg.
And I was on a mission.
First I had to make The BEST Hamburger Patty ever to start the burger with. After that was done I was on to developing the recipe of the recipe.
What I came up with was a juicy cheeseburger piled onto a toasted hamburger bun, leaf lettuce, crisp bacon and an over easy egg.
Meet your new favorite burger.

How to Make Hamburger with Fried Egg
I’ll be honest, there are quiet a few steps. None of them are hard just read through them before you make this delicious burger.
The first thing you want to do is preheat your grill to 350 – 400 degrees F. Then place your burgers on the grill. Flip after about 3 minutes and then cook an additional 6 minutes. When you have one minute left of grilling time place slice of cheese on top of burgers. USDA recommends an internal temperature for 160 degrees F for hamburgers.
Butter the insides of your bun and place on grill to toast them.
While the burgers are cooking prepare bacon in skillet according to directions on package. You can even do this ahead of time and cover with tinfoil to keep warm.
You’ll also want to make your eggs. Heat a pan with 2 Tbsp butter over medium high heat. When the butter foams, break the eggs into the pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Reduce the heat to low and season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are just beginning to firm around the edge, about 5 minutes. The key is to not cook these to long so you have that delicious runny egg!
Then it’s time to assemble the burger!
Place a leaf of lettuce on bun, top with burger, bacon and egg.
