Ingredients
- 4 burger buns top and bottom

- 12 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 8 slices of tomato
- 8 slices of red onion
- 1 pinch of chili flakes optional
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 –2 teaspoons oil for cooking

Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- Toast the burger buns cut-side down in a dry pan until golden. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs with chili flakes (optional), salt, and pepper.
- Lightly oil a non-stick pan and pour in the egg mixture.
- Once the eggs begin to set, place both bun halves on top—cut sides facing the egg.
- Let cook until the egg is mostly set underneath, then flip everything so the buns are on the bottom.
- Fold the edges of the egg over the buns to wrap them.
- Add a slice of cheese, then layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, and spicy burger sauce.
- Close the buns gently into a sandwich and press lightly.
- Let sit in the pan for 30 seconds so the cheese melts and everything warms through. Serve hot.
