1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon fresh juice from 1 lime
Pinch of kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1 jalapeño
Smashed Burgers and to Serve:
4 English muffins
1 pound ground beef chuck, divided into 8 balls
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 slices Colby-Jack cheese
1/4 avocado
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 eggs
The Step By Step Directions To Follow:
Line rimmed baking sheet with foil, arrange bacon on top in single layer. Bake 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet once front to back during cooking. Place bacon on paper towel–lined plate, set aside.
In bottom ofcontainer that just fits head of immersion blender, combine egg yolk, water, lime juice, pinch of salt. In saucepan over high heat, melt butter. Swirl saucepan constantly until butter is no longer foaming. Pour butter into liquid measuring cup.
With blender running, slowly pour in hot butter. Continue pouring until all of butter has been added. Add half of jalapeño; reserve remaining jalapeño to garnish burgers. Keep blending until smooth, creamy. Transfer to lidded pot, keep in warm place until ready to use.
Arrange bacon on bottom halves of English muffins, set aside. Preheat sauté pan or skillet over high heat. Place 2 balls of beef in pan at a time, smash down with two stiff metal spatulas. Press firmly to flatten.
The Additional Directions To Follow:
Make sure to add a good amount of salt and pepper to each burger. Then allow to cook until the bottom of each burger is browned or for approximately forty-five seconds or so. Then flip each burger and put some cheese over top of one of your burgers. Then, place your smashed burger onto one of your muffins that should already have bacon on it. Do this until all of your burgers are done. Then, put an avocado slice on every burger.
Then, in your skillet placed over medium heat, melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Next, crack each one of your eggs into your skillet and allow to fry making sure not to touch them until they reach the desired level of doneness. Put the eggs on over top of your avocado, and put this Hollandaise sauce over top of your eggs, add some pepper and the rest of the jalapeno.
