Ground Bacon Burger

[baseline bum]

A bar I used to go to a lot in Humboldt has a burger called the eye opener; patty, slice of ham, bacon, and a fried egg. Greasy bar food, but using fresh/local/organic/grass-fed/etc. ingredients. It was ing amazing.

And I've yet to find a single food item that isn't improved by the addition of runny egg yolk.

I love runny eggs (the way I always cook them at home for breakfast), but on a burger the egg has be over hard. I also skip the bacon in that case, since it drowns out the flavor of the egg on the burger.

Agreed. Love bacon, but it's dominant smoky flavor supercedes the egg flavor on a burger and therefore, should be used in an either/or situation with regards to having an egg on your burger or not. Either way, you can't go wrong even if your preference is to have both.

I too hate runny egg yolks. It looks like vomit.

Yeah, it's almost like chili in that no other topping makes any difference once bacon is there.
