Scott Hines’s Cheddar Hollandaise Burger

Ingredients

Cheddar Hollandaise Sauce:

  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 3 dashes Tabasco hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 lbs butter
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

Bacon Jam:

  • 1/2 lb bacon
  • 1 shallot
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  • 3 thyme sprigs

Directions

Bacon Jam:

  1. Chop bacon into very small pieces. Place in cold pan and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  2. Small-dice shallots and add to bacon; cook for 5 minutes more.
  3. Pour out rendered fat (save for future use) and add brown sugar, sherry vinegar, and whole thyme sprigs.
  4. Cook until thick (like jam!), then pull out thyme stems.

Cheddar Hollandaise Sauce:

  1. Melt butter and allow to cool slightly (you want it to be warm, not too hot) .
  2. Place all ingredients (except butter and cheese) into blender; turn blender on to medium speed.
  3. While blender is running, slowly drizzle butter into blender. Do not do this too quick or the sauce will separate. If the sauce gets too thick, slowly add some warm water.
  4. When the butter is incorporated, blend in cheddar cheese.

Burger:

  1. While the bacon jam is cooking, season your Burgers with salt and pepper and grill until desired temperature.
  2. While the Burgers are resting, cook one sunny-side-up egg (or whatever kind of egg you want!).
  3. Place your Burger onto the bottom bun, then spread bacon jam on top of the patty.
  4. Top with arugula, followed by the sunny-side-up egg.
  5. Top egg with Hollandaise sauce then chopped scallions.

Enjoy!
