Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Step 3: Pan-Fry the Hash Browns
Using the same skillet:
Cook the hash browns in bacon fat or oil until golden and crisp — about 3–4 minutes per side .
Season with salt and pepper while hot.
Pro Tip: Use a hash brown patty or shredded fresh potatoes for best texture.
Step 4: Sear the Burger Patties
On a grill or in a hot skillet:
Cook each patty for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Step 5: Fry the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet:
Heat a bit of oil or butter.
Crack eggs directly into the pan and cook to your desired doneness — sunny-side up is ideal for yolk richness.
Step 6: Assemble the Hangover Burger
Build each burger like a dream come true:
Start with a toasted brioche bun bottom .
Stack a cheesy beef patty on top.
Add a crispy hash brown layer.
Slide on a few slices of crispy bacon .
Crown it with a fried egg so the yolk drizzles down with every bite.
Top with the other half of the bun — and maybe a napkin. You’re going to need it.

Nutritional Highlights
While definitely indulgent, this burger delivers:
Ground beef for iron and protein.
Egg yolk for healthy fats and choline.
Cheese for calcium and melty goodness.
Hash browns for energy-rich carbs.
Bacon for deep umami flavor (in moderation, of course!).
It’s not a daily dish — but when you need it, nothing else will do.
