Breakfast burger with egg

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp. l. brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp hot chili sauce
• 700 g of ground beef with 20% fat content
• 1 tsp sweet paprika
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 thick slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
• 4 large eggs
• 4 sesame buns
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for greasing
• 4 slices Havarti cheese

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Using a fork, gently mix the ground beef with the paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Form into four 12 cm diameter patties. Cover and set aside.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour most of the fat from the skillet into a bowl, reserving about 2 teaspoons. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the patties to the pan, 2 at a time, and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 4 minutes for medium-rare. Repeat with the remaining patties. Place the patties on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you fry the eggs.
5. Wipe out the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of rendered bacon fat to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Meanwhile, brush the buns with melted butter. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and lightly toast in the oven for about 10 minutes.
7. Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun, adding a slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and a fried egg. Spread a little hot ketchup on the top bun and top the burger.
