For this particular recipe, we’re keeping it simple and relying on pantry staples that you probably already have at home.

When it comes to sourcing the bacon and eggs for this dish, we recommend seeking out free-range or organic options. Not only are they more ethically sourced. But they also tend to have a richer flavor and higher nutritional value.

For the tomatoes, opt for vine or heirloom varieties as they tend to have a sweeter taste and more robust texture. And don’t skimp on the cheese – go for a high-quality option that melts beautifully, such as brie or camembert.

Lastly, mayonnaise is a crucial component of the burger. We suggest using pasteurized whole egg mayonnaise for added richness and creaminess.
