I had this weird dream the other day. In it a man asked me to buy him a hamburger, so I did and it was expensive. $11 for a burger and fries! What? It looked huge and overflowing with lettuce. I was impressed, but I dropped it on my way back to the guy and suddenly I was at home remaking it for him. The dream stopped when the burger was done, and I woke up with a drive to make that burger a reality. So here's the burger I dreamed up.
In the dream the burger was huge, and filled with juicy meat, crisp lettuce, melted cheese and a sauce that I had to make in my dream, and then just had to make when I woke up. I contacted my partner in crime, Clella, to see if she was up to the task. She totally was and on my way to fetch her, I stopped at the store to get everything I needed:
- Freshly baked bagels from our local grocer. I got Cheddar Bagels and Jalapeno Bagels.
- Organic, Grass Fed Beef Paddies
- A head of Lettuce. The pre-cut stuff is never as crisp.
- Big juicy Tomatoes
- Eggs (pre-boiled...I'm a lazy cook.)
- And Sharp Cheddar Cheese
I seasoned the burgers with salt and pepper and broiled them until cooked through and through, but still juicy.
We cut the veggies.
We toasted the begals
We made the sauce...
The sauce would make or break this burger. In my dream I blended hard boiled eggs into a creamy spread.
There was Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper, but nothing else. Clella and I, however, decided to add some other ingredients as well. Paprika, Garlic Salt & Red Wine Vinegar. Nothing measured, just dashes and pinches, whatever felt right and tasted great.
Mom says we basically made our own Mayo...if so, it's much healthier and very tangy. Just as in my dream, the sauce went on the bottom bun of the bagel.
And then we assembled our masterpiece!
The Big Bagel Burger! Juicy, Crisp, Saucy and oh so messy to eat. Seriously, you'll want to have wet wipes near by. ENJOY!
