Instructions

Mayonnaise:

  • Add all the ingredients for the mayonnaise to a bowl and blend using an immersion blender.
  • Add more oil if needed to make it thinner.
  • Once it has thickened, set in the fridge till ready to serve.

Burgers:

  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the special sauce then place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Heat your grill at high heat (around 450F) for direct cooking.
  • Grab a handful of ground beef (around 1/4 lbs… ish) and gently roll it into a ball. Repeat this for 6-8 balls or until you’re out of meat.
  • Add a cast iron skillet or plancha over the flames to heat until it's slightly smoking (about 450 on the skillet).
  • Add a burger ball to the skillet.
  • Place a piece of parchment over one ball and then firmly press with the spatula until the burger is “smashed” on the skillet.
  • Season the patty with salt, pepper and garlic. Let cook for another 1-1.5 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the burger patty over and then season the new side. Top with a slice of cheese and let melt for 1-2 minutes.
  • Once melted, pull off and rest. Repeat for the rest of your patties. When the burgers are done, pull off and keep warm.
  • Add your sliced bacon to the skillet to cook until they are crispy golden brown, then pull off and keep warm.
  • Finally, add some more oil and heat up the skillet until it's smoking. Crack your eggs onto the skillet and fry for sunny side up doneness. Pull off once done.
  • Before building, toast your burger buns until golden brown.
  • Build your burger with the bottom bun having mayonnaise, double stacked patties and your bacon.
  • On the tip bun add mayonnaise, pickles, red onions, fried egg and chopped chives.
  • Pop your egg yolk before serving then put the two sides together.
  • Serve and enjoy!
