Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices yellow American cheese
Olive oil
4 large eggs
4 English muffins
Unsalted butter
Sriracha or other hot sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, spread the pork out and sprinkle evenly all over with the brown sugar, fennel seeds, rosemary, sage, thyme, pepper flakes, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few good turns of pepper. Mix with your hands to combine, being careful not to over mix. Divide into 4 parts and roll into balls. Create a large divot in the center of each ball and fill each with 1 slice of the cheese that's been folded into 4 quarters. Seal in the cheese by pressing the edges of the divot together and then press the ball into patties. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-high heat and cook until the patties have an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add a drizzle of oil to the pan. Crack in the eggs, cover and cook to the desired doneness. (I like a firm yolk with these since the cheese will lend enough ooze!) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Butter the English muffins and place on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Place in the oven and toast until lightly golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Top each English muffin with a patty, an egg and sriracha or hot sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Juicy Lucy turned out dry and overcooked. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This is the best Juicy Lucy recipe I've ever tried. The patty was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great way to use up leftover steak. I added some sautéed mushrooms and onions and it was delicious.

I made this for my family and they loved it! The hash browns were crispy and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This Juicy Lucy was a hit at our brunch! The combination of the melted cheese and the perfectly cooked egg was divine. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great.
