The Brunch Bun

Ingredients

½ lb thick cut bacon 

¼ cup maple syrup 

2 tablespoons sriracha 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

4 large eggs

8 slices American cheese 

4 Pretzel buns, sliced and toasted 

2 scallions, sliced on a bias 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Add bacon and cook for 12-15 minutes until bacon fat has rendered and bacon is crispy. 

Meanwhile, whisk together maple syrup and sriracha. Once bacon is done, remove from the oven and pour maple syrup mixture over the bacon. Place back into the oven for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and let cool. 

To a large skillet over medium heat, add butter. Crack eggs into hot pan and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and turn the heat off. Top each egg with 2 slices of cheese. To the bottom of each bun, evenly divide the bacon, top with the cheesy egg and garnish with sliced scallions. Place the top bun on and press down to pop the yolk.
