Air Fryer Magic: Super Easy, Super Delicious
First things first, let's talk about ease. No one wants to be slaving over a hot stove at the crack of dawn. That’s where my air fryer hamburger recipe comes in handy.
Using the air fryer not only makes this recipe a breeze but also gives you perfectly cooked patties every single time. Plus, less mess means more time enjoying your delicious burger once you're done cooking. Win-win!
The Star of the Show: Maple Jalapeño Caramelized Onion Bacon Jam

Sweet, spicy, savory—it’s a flavor explosion that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance. Slather it generously on your burger in place of a burger sauce for a taste sensation that will make you wonder why you haven’t been doing this all along.
There's something magical about the way certain foods can transform the simplest of dishes into something drool-worthy! Bacon jam is one of those foods. This luscious, sweet, and savory spread takes the smoky richness of the bacon and melds it with the deep caramelized flavors of onions, the subtle heat of jalapeños, and the perfect touch of maple syrup and vinegar.

Building the Ultimate Breakfast Burger
So, you’ve got your air fryer hamburger patties and your killer bacon jam. What’s next? Assembly time! Here’s how to build the ultimate breakfast burger:
- The Juicy Burger Patties: It's easy: combine ground beef and ground breakfast sausage. This combo is the secret sauce that makes this breakfast burger stand out. Add your favorite seasonings – think garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper – and mix well. Make sure to form thick patties for that juicy, meaty bite.
- Cooking: Pop those patties into the air fryer and let it work its magic. You’ll have juicy, perfectly cooked patties in no time. Make sure the internal temperature reaches a safe 160°F.
- Burger Buns: Go for a hearty bun that can handle the load. A brioche bun is my personal favorite – slightly sweet and oh-so-buttery. If you're feeling adventurous, try an English muffin or a seeded bun for a different twist.
- The Spread: Slather a generous amount of maple jalapeño caramelized onion bacon jam on the bottom bun. Trust me, more is more when it comes to this jam.
- Patty Placement: Place your perfectly cooked patty on top of the jam. Make sure you get that nice sear on the patties for extra flavor.
- Toppings Galore: Top with a fried egg with a runny yolk, some fresh smashed avocado, and maybe a slice of melty cheddar cheese if you’re feeling extra indulgent. For a spicy kick, add some sriracha mayo or pepper jack cheese.
The Finish: Cap it off with the top bun and get ready for the best breakfast burger experience of your life. Don't forget to add slices of bacon or crispy hash browns if you're going all out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breakfast Burgers

A: Absolutely! While the blend of ground beef and breakfast sausage is my go-to for the ultimate breakfast burger, feel free to experiment with ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based option.
Q: How can I make this breakfast burger healthier?
A: To lighten things up, you can use lean ground beef or turkey, swap the brioche bun for a whole grain option, and add more fresh veggies as toppings. The air fryer already helps by reducing the need for excess oil.
Q: Is the bacon jam spicy?
A: The maple jalapeño caramelized onion bacon jam has a subtle kick, but it’s balanced out by the sweetness of the maple syrup and the caramelized onions. If you’re sensitive to spice, you can reduce the amount of jalapeño.
