CookwithNewsletter

Inspired by the playful, over-the-top energy of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, this $46 Iconic Breakfast Burger melds the luxury of a decadent brunch with the absurdity of pop culture food moments. No beef required: a sunny-side up egg is the star, draped in melting cheddar, layered with creamy avocado, juicy tomato, zippy arugula, and a tangy lemon-mayo. It’s the kind of breakfast burger that could steal the show at any awards ceremony, or at your own kitchen table. This California-inspired, pescatarian-and-vegetarian-friendly burger proves you don’t need beef to have an award-worthy bite!

Ingredients

Instructions

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the brioche buns until golden and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and add olive oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up until whites are set and yolks are runny, 3-4 minutes. In the last minute, top each egg with a slice of cheddar to melt slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread lemon-mayo on both sides of each toasted bun. Layer the bottom bun with arugula, a slice of tomato, sliced avocado, and a few rings of red onion.
Place the cheesy egg on top of the veggies. Sprinkle with chives, then crown with the top bun.
Serve immediately, with extra lemon-mayo on the side.
