  Breakfast

My husband is big on eggs and bacon, so I wanted to merge his breakfast favorites with a grilled burger for an over-the-top treat. Topping it with my homemade blackberry jam sealed the deal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
  • 8 slices Texas toast
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2-1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

Instructions

  • 1. Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties. Grill burgers, covered, on a greased grill rack over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 4-5 minutes on each side.

  • 4. Reduce heat to medium. In same skillet, heat remaining butter. Add eggs; fry over easy.
  • 5. To assemble, spread blackberry preserves over 4 slices of Texas toast. Layer each slice with 1 hash brown patty, 1 burger, 1 fried egg, 1 cheese slice and 2 bacon strips. Top with remaining toast slices.
