- 1 large egg
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

👨🍳 Instructions
- Toast the bun: Cut the brioche bun in half and toast it in a skillet until lightly golden.
- Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place it on a paper towel and set aside.
- Cook the beef patty: Season the beef patty with salt and black pepper. Cook in a hot skillet for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
