Breakfast Burgers with Maple Aioli.
No, not like burgers for breakfast.
But burgers stacked with breakfast foods.
I don’t know. Does that mean we can eat them for breakfast?
Wouldn’t stop me.
GAH.
Surprise surprise: this is another result of my freakish current burger obsession. !!!!
I know. Is this getting old?
I’m wondering if once the cooler weather comes… my burger infatuation will end? I’m thinking no, especially since it started this past winter. And the only thing better than a burger is a burger with a side of hot dog. I’ll be on vacation in less than 72 hours and will probably consume my fair share of grilled hot dogs.
I’ll be one happy clam.
[Sidebar: that’s kind of annoying.]
Can I tell you how much I love these burgers?
AH. Oh my… whatever. So darn good. It’s really only a plain burger – but topped with tons of havarti cheese, crunchy bacon, a flipping fried egg and… wait for it… a maple dijon aioli. Get it? Do ya, do ya, do ya? Maple? Like syrup? Like for breakfast?
That’s where I was trying to go with the whole thing. Working?
Consensus: definitely breakfast.
Bacon Cheeseburgers with a Fried Egg + Maple Aioli
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces havarti cheese, sliced
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked
- 4 eggs, cooked to your liking
- 4 english muffins, toasted
maple aioli
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- a pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties, then cook as desired: either grill the burgers or cook on a skillet until they reach the desired doneness. I cooked mine in a cast-iron skillet for about 4 to 5 minutes per side. A minute before the burgers are done, add a slice of havarti cheese on top.
- To assemble the burgers, place the burger on the english muffin. Add the egg, some of the maple aioli and the bacon, then the top of the english muffin. Serve!
maple aioli
- Whisk together the syrup, dijon mustard, egg yolk and lemon juice in a large bowl until combined. Slowly stream in olive oil while continuously whisking until the mixture emulsifies and comes together completely. Whisk in whole grain mustard. then taste and season with a little salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.

Wow, now this is a burger! What a great idea and so creative, I am loving your burger obsession. The maple aioli sounds amazing and I bet it would go with a lot of recipes. I have to try this recipe too.
Damn, I have all these ingredients EXCEPT the burger meat! I so want this for breakfast stat, but I guess it’s going to have to wait until my grocery run. Boo! Oh, and maple aioli? Geeze, you took it over the edge there. ;)
I’m not one to usually add links to the comments section, but I found this site the other day and thought of you. It’s 40 ways to enjoy popcorn. OMG. http://www.somethingswanky.com/40-perfect-popcorn-recipes/
Enjoy vacation. Can’t wait to watch your eats via instagram. :)
Oh lord, lady! It not even 7:30 am and I’m craving burgers and beer! This is going to be a loooooong day!
Of course not! If layering ingredient together always counted as a burger then I will be trouble! This maple aioli is gorgeous combination of sweet and zesty which I can imagine goes so well with sweet smoked bacon. The burger and Sandwich possible with this dressing: Drool…
Once again, your beautiful drippy eggs have got me drooling! I could totally get on board with this. I’ve got portobello burgers on my menu this weekend but an egg version might need to happen too! Now that I think about it… i wonder what an egg-and-portobello combo would be like… ;)
Burgers for breakfast? Hell yeah! Count me in! If this is what your burger obsession is doing to you, then thank you!
Wow that burger looks amazing! it’s not even 8 yet and now I am contemplating what I will be having for dinner – burgers sound amazing right now!!
My husband would love these!
Is this real life?! I die.
Is this a real thing? Can I please have them all? Please?
I want burgers for breakfast!
is this real life?
The maple aioli sounds great! I love anything with maple!
This is the most delish burger I have ever seen. I love that you put it on a english muffin!
I love that this is totally a real burger. Eggs seriously make everything better. This really has got to be one of the best burgers around. It is simple, but freaking amazing at the same time and there is not one person in my family who would not eat this. That is an AMAZING thing. Trust me, I have picky, picky, picky eaters around here.
GIRL. You are speaking my language. This… genius, my friend.
I’ve yet to have a runny egg on a burger…I’ve totally been missing out. Love the fancy homemade aioli :)
These look absolutely incredible!!! I’ll take them any time of day!
I want one for breakfast….and by one I mean all of them!
Oh my gosh! Jess, these burgers look fantastic! :)
Damn.
I want this more than anything I have ever wanted. ANYTHING.
Bring on the weekend and burgers with breakfast foods!
Woman, you are a mad genius! Please jar & mail some maple dijon aioli to my apartment immediately – mmmkay? Kay thanks ;)
Breakfast with a beer, i love it!! Why can’t i get it together to plan a holiday? Wah, enjoy yours.
let’s do one together. :)
I’m thinking they’re an any-meal kind of thing. ESPECIALLY close to/on vacay!
Why aren’t you cooking this for me right now? UMMM.
This looks CRAZY good.
Damnit, I ate breakfast an hour ago and now I’m hungry again. Burgers are my weakness.
O.M.G. I am a huge fan of breakfast for dinner (AND love a good cheeseburger) in any way possible and this looks ridiculous!
I fried two eggs for dinner the other night with a side of sauteed leeks and green beans..yum! (my first time ever cooking leeks and now i am hooked! I bought them in preparation to make your portobella and leek carbonara tonight! And for the man, have to have meat, so I am going to slice some steak and throw it in also!)
let me know how it turns out! i LOVE leeks.
I want this soooo badly. Love fried eggs on burgers.
And you can totally eat it for breakfast… it’s just a Bacon Egg and Cheese plus a burger. Done and done.
Oh my my! Yes, it’s working and it works and I want it.
shutup! I just drooled all over my keyboard…seriously. These belong in my mouth right now.
Wow, all your recipes are insane, but there is something about this one that is extra amazing – great photos! And I’m not even a burger person :) I would so eat this for breakfast.
thank you!
Put and egg on anything and I call it a winner! Looks delicious
i swear it never fails – you always make bacon look like food porn! This sounds incredible! :)
Throwing a Corona in the mix really supports the whole breakfast theme. And sadly (or in in my eyes, awesomely), I’m totally being serious.
hahahaha.
Good gracious, those sound insane. Pretty sure they’d make a kick-bootaaaaay brinner.
Dinner!
HOLY COW! I just finished breakfast and now I’m hungry again. And mad that this isn’t what I ate. That ooey gooey yolk in that last picture? Stop it.
This looks CRAZY delicious! Your culinary creativity never ceases to amaze me, Jessica!
Unreal! How do you come up with something so out-of-this-world-looking??! Sidenote- I wish I had your skills.

I would eat this for breafast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack, whatever. Looks so freaking good i can taste it through my computer. I’m now at work fantasizing about a burger, great.
I LOVE burgers…with egg…and everything! I want them decked out in maple now!!
This looks fabulous- but without the mustard-y stuff
That burger looks dangerously good!! My oh my, I want one right now!
These look AMAZING. Wow…totally drool worthy. :)
Oh my gosh. !!! I can’t believe these. They look too, too good. I love all those layers stacked up between the english muffins. Perfect!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: You make the most perfect eggs!!! :)
Oh my freakin’ gawd! I have been completely OBSESSED with burgers lately too! I could eat this one (bold, italicize) anytime of day, everyday!
I would smear that maple aioli on everything in sight!
I LOVE that you put these on an English muffin. That’s how I eat all my burgers – so crispy, so good!
And if you can have breakfast for dinner, then of course you can have dinner for breakfast!
