Brenner Burger

breakfast for dinner

This truly is the best breakfast sandwich, stacked high with everything from gourmet sausage, to crispy bacon, to a hearty fried egg.  Quite simply, this is my way of eating breakfast for dinner and lunch too. Anytime I can squeeze it in is fine with me.

Follow the burger directions below, and then make the sandwich really special with my Roasted Tomato and Better Bacon recipes. You will not be disappointed.  And neither will your family.  It will become the most requested go-to dish coming out of your kitchen.  It’s not just a good burger, it’s a gourmet breakfast, and the best dinner.

cooking information

• Yield: 12 Burgers
• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cooking Time: 30 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 Dozen Eggs
• 1 Dozen Dinner Rolls
• 1 Carton Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
• 1/2 Pound Bacon
• 3 Pounds Ground Pork
• 1 Tablespoon Sage
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Marjoram
• 2 Teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 Teaspoons Brown Sugar
• Dash Cayenne
• Salt and Pepper

recipe instruction

1. Combine pork,sage, marjoram, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix together until well combined. Form into 12 equal 4-ounce patties. (Congratulations! You are officially a sausage maker.)

2. Crack and bake the eggs on a greased baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees until the whites of the eggs have solidified, approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from the pan with a cookie cutter or baby bottle. (See Cookie Cutter video.)

3. Cook bacon.

4. Roast tomatoes just like I've taught you to do in the Roasted Tomatoes video.

5. Grill 7-10 minutes, flip and then an additional 7 minutes. If you're not used to cooking sausage in 4-ounce hunks, try cooking it just like any other one of my gourmet burgers.

6. To assemble, place a couple of roasted tomatoes on the bottom of the bun, top with crispy bacon, add the burger and finish off with the egg.

cooking tips

• I like to use buttery sandwich rolls for my burgers instead of a traditional bun. It ups your game in its presentation and also ads just the right sweet taste.
• My Better Bacon recipe adds a kick of honey and cayenne. Roasting the tomatoes according to my Roasted Tomato recipe and video will sweeten them up.
