Can a person get tired of eating just burgers? HECK NO!
In a celebration of summer, yours truly is celebrating with what is THE iconic food of summer, the burger. For a week, lunch and dinner will feature some sort of burger, starting off with a classic cheeseburger and then going on an adventure from there. The adventure will travel through flavors from around the globe, Mexican, Mediterranean, Asian and more! There will be a variety in spices, toppings and meats!
For Day 7, it's breakfast for lunch! This burger puts some beef into the morning meal and kicks the typical breakfast sandwich up a couple notches! The great thing about this burger, is it's an excellent use of leftover burgers from last night's dinner. And there's just something a little extra special with that golden yoke from the over easy egg running down the side of the sandwich....

Once the bacon is crisp, drain on a paper towel, set aside. Taking advantage of the bacon fat, fry up the egg, over easy, hitting it with a dash of black pepper. In a separate pan, melt the butter, garlic and toast the buns. Create an aoili with the mayonnaise and all purpose seasoning and spread on the buns.
