Burger with Jalapeno Sauce
4 servings
35 minutes
The jalapeño sauce burger is a vibrant embodiment of Mexican cuisine, combining the rich flavor of beef patty, the spicy aroma of jalapeño pepper, and the creamy texture of the sauce. Bacon adds a crispy salty note, while avocado brings freshness and lightness. Historically, jalapeño is widely used in Mexican dishes for its rich flavor and spiciness. This burger features a unique depth of flavor thanks to a sauce made from egg yolk, lime, and melted butter that gently envelops the ingredients. The composition is completed by an egg that adds richness to the burger's texture. It's an ideal dish for those who appreciate a contrasting palette of flavors.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking tray with foil and lay the bacon slices in a single layer. Bake for about 1 minute until the bacon is crispy. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel.
- Bacon: 8 pieces

We are preparing the sauce. In a tall container for an immersion blender, mix the egg yolk, water, lime sauce, and a pinch of salt. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over high heat. When the butter stops foaming, pour it into a measuring cup.
- Egg yolk: 1 piece
- Water: 1 teaspoon
- Lime juice: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: to taste
- Butter: 10 tablespoons

Start blending the ingredients in a container with an immersion blender, gradually pouring in hot oil. It should form a homogeneous mass. Add half of the jalapeño pepper to the mixture (more or less depending on your preference). The remaining pepper will be used for serving the burgers. Keep the sauce in a warm place.

Take the rolls, cut in half. Place bacon on the bottom half and set aside. Heat a pan, pour in oil, and add the meatballs. Press them with a spatula to flatten the balls.

- Butter: 10 tablespoons
- Ground beef: 450 g

Season the resulting meat patties with salt and pepper. Fry for about 45 seconds on each side (the top will turn gray-pink). Place a slice of cheese on top and cover it with another patty. Place the resulting three-layer sandwich on a bun with bacon, and top it with a slice of avocado. Repeat these steps with the remaining meatballs.

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

Crack the eggs into a skillet and fry for about 2 minutes if you want a runny yolk. Place the fried eggs on a layer of avocado. Drizzle the eggs with 1 spoon of sauce, add pepper, cover with the top part of the bun, and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
