Cheesy Breakfast Burger

Today, I decided to go big or go home and make an epic breakfast burger but with an eggy quiche ā€œburgerā€ instead of a beefy burger. I once saw a similar burger in a Hubert Keller cookbook so I decided to play with the idea and, like a lightbulb moment, the Cheesy Breakfast Burger was born.

This Cheesy Breakfast Burger is packed with classic flavors like ham and sharp cheddar cheese but with a slight hint of spice thanks to the Aleppo pepper and fresh herbs. It’s nestled among fresh veggies and a soft potato bun for the best breakfast burger ever. I served mine with a fresh fruit salad that was drizzled with a honey vanilla yogurt sauce and I can tell it’s going to be one of those tried and true brunch go-to recipes.

If you are looking for something a bit out of the box for your next brunch, make this Cheesy Breakfast Burger!
