Ingredients

1.1 lbs ground meat (mixed, beef and pork)
3 Eggs (medium)
3 tbsps Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (grated, about 1 oz)
1 tsp chopped parsley
1 clove Garlic
1 pinch ground black pepper
4 pinches Fine salt
1 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 mozzarella (about 4.4 oz)
1 Salad tomatoes
3.5 oz Mixed salad
to taste Olive oil
to taste Oregano
to taste Fine salt
3.5 oz bacon (8 slices)
to taste Ketchup
to taste Mayonnaise
4 Hamburger buns

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the ground meat, eggs, Parmigiano, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic clove, and breadcrumbs.
Mix well with your hands until you get a well-integrated mixture.
To get evenly sized burgers, you can use a mold, or alternatively, you can also shape them by hand by pressing the meat together.
You will get 4 burgers.
Wash the tomato, slice it thinly, and season it with oil, salt, and oregano.
Fry the bacon until crispy. Set it aside on a plate.
Slice the mozzarella.
In the oven or toaster, warm the buns after cutting them in half.
In a pan with a bit of oil, cook the eggs, making sure to keep the yolk runny.
Cook the burgers in a large pan; once cooked, place the sliced cheese on top to slightly melt it.
Start assembling the burger: on the bottom bun, add a bit of sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, or any other of your choice), then the salad, crispy bacon, tomato slices, the burger with cheese, and finally the egg.
Top with the upper half of the bun.
