The Ultimate Hangover Burger: Egg in a Hole Burger Grilled Cheese 🍔🥓🧀
We’ve all been there – waking up with a pounding headache, regretting last night’s choices, and desperately craving the kind of greasy, cheesy goodness that can bring us back to life. Enter The Ultimate Hangover Burger – an absolute beast of a sandwich that combines a juicy burger, buttery grilled cheese, and a perfectly fried egg in a hole.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 lb ground beef 🥩
- 2 slices of thick bread 🍞
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese 🧀
- 1 tbsp butter 🧈
- 2 slices of crispy bacon 🥓
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp hot sauce 🌶️ (optional, but highly recommended)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder 🧄 (for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp caramelized onions 🧅 (because why not?)
How to Make It:
- Form the Burger Patty – Season the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then shape it into a patty slightly larger than your bread slices. Cook it in a hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side or until perfectly juicy.
- Fry the Bacon – Because everything’s better with bacon. Cook until crispy and set aside.
- Caramelize the Onions – Slowly cook sliced onions in butter until they become golden and sweet. This step takes patience but adds a deep, rich flavor to your burger.
- Make the Egg in a Hole – Use a round cutter (or a small glass) to cut a hole in the middle of one bread slice. Melt butter in the skillet, place the bread in, and crack the egg into the hole. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg sets, then carefully flip and cook for another minute.
- Assemble the Beast – Spread mayo and hot sauce on the second slice of bread. Add a layer of cheese, the burger patty, caramelized onions, crispy bacon, another slice of cheese, then top it with your egg-in-a-hole bread.
- Grill it Up – Melt more butter in the skillet and cook the whole sandwich like a grilled cheese – golden brown on both sides, with melted cheese oozing everywhere.
Why This is the Best Hangover Cure Ever:
- Greasy & Cheesy Goodness – Because your body is screaming for fat and carbs.
- Protein-Packed – That burger + egg combo will fuel your recovery.
- Spicy Kick – The hot sauce wakes up your taste buds and gets the blood flowing.
- Bacon. Enough Said.
- Caramelized Onions Elevate It – Adds a rich, slightly sweet depth to balance the grease.
Bonus Tip:
If you want to go even harder, swap the bread for buttered brioche or Texas toast for extra indulgence. Or, throw in some avocado slices for a slightly healthy twist (but let's be real, you’re here for the grease).
So next time you wake up regretting life choices, whip up The Ultimate Hangover Burger and get yourself back in the game. Your stomach will thank you. 🍔🔥
