Cooking burgers on a Blackstone griddle is a fantastic way to achieve a delicious, seared exterior with a juicy interior. The flat top cooking surface allows for even heat distribution and a great crust on your burgers. Here's a simple yet tasty recipe to get you started:
There is a restaurant here in Fargo called JL Beers. It's this small tiny narrow building and when you first look at it from the outside you wonder how they sit people in there. They serve beer and burgers and that is pretty much it. There is this one burger on their menu called the Humpty Dumpty. It’s pretty much the ideal breakfast burger and served with bacon and a fried egg on top. They are so delicious and they are easy to make at home on a large griddle.
You know those popular Blackstone griddles that are trending right now? You can make these burgers on those as well. I don’t own a Blackstone griddle and this griddle works just as fine.

What Ingredients do I need?
- Buns - Brioche buns are my favorite buns to use for burgers because they toast up nicely on a grill. English muffins would be really good with these as well.
- Ground Beef - Any type of ground beef will work, 80/20, 96/4/ 93/7 etc... Use leaner meats for a lower point burger. Can also sub ground turkey.
- Cheese - Cheddar cheese slices or your favorite type of cheese
- Eggs - Large fried eggs, there’s just something about the yolk oozing out of the egg and dripping all over the side of the burger. It gets messy so have a lot of napkins on hand.
- Bacon - precooked bacon, I like to use bacon that you can easily cook in the microwave. Saves up some space on the Blackstone.
How to make Burgers with Fried Egg
- Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. You'll want it nice and hot for that perfect sear.
- Form the Patties: While the griddle is heating, divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. A good tip is to make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help the burgers cook evenly and prevent bulging in the middle.
- Cook the Burgers: Once the griddle is preheated, place the patties on the griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until you see a nice crust forming. Flip the burgers and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. If you're adding cheese, place a slice on each patty about a minute before the burgers are done cooking; this gives the cheese time to melt beautifully.
- Cook Eggs: On an empty part of the griddle that isn’t being used cracked 4 eggs. Let the eggs fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side and set aside.
- Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the buns on the griddle if you like. Open the buns and place them cut-side down on a less hot area of the griddle. Toast for about 1 minute, or until they're lightly browned.
- Assemble the Burgers: Once the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted, it's time to assemble. Place each burger patty on a bun bottom, add your choice of toppings and condiments, and cap it with the bun top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delicious Blackstone griddle-cooked burgers immediately, perhaps with a side of fries or a salad for a complete meal.

This is too good! I think these are going to be pure bliss for the taste buds. Can I drizzle some ghee instead of oiling the grate before grilling? The unique flavor of ghee attracts me more than any other cooking fat. According to nutritionists, using ghee is a healthier choice as well.
