Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers Recipe

Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers, a perfectly seasoned chicken patty with an egg nested in the middle of it served on a toasted bagel, perfect for brunch or a light dinner
Hola Amigos! Happy Weekend! This is the perfect breakfast burger for a Sunday morning or a mid day brunch...and you know? why not...for those late evenings when you feel like having breakfast for dinner.
I think it's a great idea if you want to surprise your hungry kids with something different, they would enjoy it for sure, perhaps more than you because let's be honest it's a bit of a preparation, but so is that stack of fresh pancakes you always make them right?

I first found the inspiration for my recipe on Pinterest. They were meat burgers and not much detail was given. Since I wanted something light for breakfast I made them out of chicken and I'm sharing some tips with you if you want to make them with or without the egg.

Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers
Chicken and Egg Bagel Burger, a perfectly seasoned chicken patty with an egg nested in the middle of it served in toasted bagel
1 Pound Fresh Ground Chicken
1 tsp minced onion
1 tsp garlic powder
salt
pepper
5 Eggs
1 Cup Flour
1 TBSP Paprika
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1/2 TBSP Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper
Bagel Rolls of your Preference 
Cheese (optional)
Season your chicken with minced onion, garlic powder salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.
To make the burgers now,  make 5 large chicken balls, dip them in the flour mix and flatten them. Take a cup and cut a hole on each flatten burger make burger #5 with the left over "inner circles". Now you are left with 5 chicken rings ready to be fried. I recommend you do this on a non stick pan because otherwise your eggs will stick to the bottom and it will be a mess. Brown your rings both sides, Once this is done, add the egg. Cover it up so it is done to the way you like it!

Listo!
Sprinkle some cheese after you take them off the frying pan and put on your bagel

Enjoy! 
It makes 5 medium size chicken burgers. Serve with home fries and your favorite fruit.

Like I mentioned before, it's a little bit of work involved but I think is the perfect dish when you want to say, because you are Special, because it's your Birthday or simply because I Love You!

The Chicken well cooked and seasoned goes awesome with my everything bagel! Maybe next time I'll even add turkey bacon!! Yum!

Thank you so much for sharing some time with me today! I hope you get the chance to prepare these burger for someone you care for and surprise them. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

Apple and Sage Pork Burgers with Green Apple Slaw Recipe

Hola Amigos! The weekend is almost here,  I can't believe how fast this week has gone by! and why it always feel like that when it comes to summer, while winter days seem to last forever...oh well, let's enjoy the sun while it lasts.
Tonight's dinner was prepared while we were busy mowing the lawn, weeding and all the stuff that you do to keep your yard in shape. So far only tiny strawberries and 0 blackberries...hmmm wonder what's going on with this year's crop...but back to the recipe.
 Something quick and easy needed to be done, so my hubs got his grill out and cooked some hot dogs for kiddo, some sausages for him and some pork burgers for me!
This burgers I made the same way you would made a pork  loin or chops. All the herbs but just a tiny touch of them because they can be strong and take over the flavors and apples! On top of the burger and on the side, Green Apple Slaw everything on a Hawaiian bun. Sounds tempting? Here is the recipe!

Apple and Sage Pork Burgers with Green Apple Slaw
1 Pd. Ground Pork
2 TBSP Apple Sauce
1 tsp. Minced Garlic
1/2 tsp Sage (or to taste)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Allspice
1/2 tsp Thyme Leaves (or to taste)
Salt and Pepper to taste 
Hawaiian Buns
BBQ Sauce Optional

Add all these ingredients to the ground pork and mix until everything is combined. Form your patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the herbs can infuse the pork.
When this is done, grill your burgers keeping in mind is pork and it needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 (We are old school and still go to 155-160).

Green Apple Slaw
3 Cups Pre-Bagged Cole Slaw
2 Green Apples, no core, chopped in any fashion you like.
1 Small carrot shredded
1/4 of a Red Bell Pepper finely chopped
1/4 of a Orange Bell Pepper finely chopped
1/4 Red Onion Sliced
1/2 Cup Mayo
1 TBSP Dijon Mustard
1 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
The Juice of Half a Lemon

Mix all the veggies and mayo in a salad bowl. Squirt a little bit of the juice of you half lemon into the chopped apples so they remain green and add them to the veggie bowl. In a measuring cup add the rest of the juice of your half lemon, mustard and brown sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved, Add this to the veggie/apple mix, toss to combine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
I know the amounts of ingredients might look odd to you ( 1/4 of a bell pepper for instance) but I'm trying to keep it real and that is exactly what I used. 

Listo,

They were good and very satisfying. I just love the crispiness and tartness of the creamy green apple slaw combined with the sweetness of the Hawaiian bun with a bite of earthy and herb infused pork!

I'm sure you noticed that the burgers were glazed with BBQ sauce, my hubs, the grill master this time, likes everything with sauce so before I knew it it was already on the burgers, but they still were delicious!

The thing I love the most about burgers is that there is no wrong way of doing one! As long as you don't burn it of course!

And in case you were asking for cheese? Why not...Melted Swiss Cheese goes heavenly on top of this burger!

Thank you for sharing yet another burger recipe! Hope this one along with other favorites like our Hawaiian Burger with Aloha Sauce or the Black and Blue Burgers with Pimento Dressing becomes one of the burgers you'll give a try this summer!

Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love,
Besitos,

Pizza Burgers Recipe

Hola Amigos, Ciao Paisanos! We are having pizza for dinner tonight, what's so great about it you are probably asking? It's a Pizza Burger! Everything you like in your pizza, just put it in a patty and a bun! It's summer folks, I let other people do the cooking,,I just deal with the prep, can you blame me?..LOL
This burger is super easy but remarkably tasty with endless possibilities, just like your regular pizza. Ready to give it a try, here is what I used.
Pizza Burgers

The Meats
The Veggies to top your pizza
 Your choice! Either roasted of raw, it's your pizza!
The Cheeses
A good 1/2 cup of freshly shredded Parmesan Cheese and Slices of Mozzarella to top your patties.
The Fixings
Your favorite veggies, more cheese, olives and pizza sauce.
The Bread
Extra Yuminess
 Roasted Garlic Butter
1 Stick of softened unslated butter, 1 TBSP chopped Italian Parsley, a pinch of salt and 1 Head of Roasted Garlic (peel garlic, chopped top, exposing top of the cloves, rub a little bit of olive oil on top, wrap your garlic on aluminum foil and bake in a 400F oven for 30-35 min. Remove from oven and when cool to the touch you are ready to squeeze each clove onto whatever you choose!)

Make your patties by mixing the meats, in regards of the pepperoni, there is no amount of it mentioned because you add as much as you want. You could either grind it up to have the same texture as the rest of your meat or diced it finely to get a spicy chunk in every bite. Add 1/2 of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and make patties to fit your buns. Mine were rectangles, grill until sausage is cooked. 
Top each burger while hot with a slice of Mozzarella Cheese and Pizza Sauce.
 Listo,
Now to put your burger together! To make it taste more like your favorite pizza dough add a little of Roasted Garlic Butter to each slice of Bread

 I got 4 good size burgers and 2 smaller ones for my little guy!

Just Consider the endless topping possibilities with this burger! I think I will make a Hawaiian soon!

So here is my Pizza Burger for tonight folks! Hope you enjoyed today's recipe and try a Pizza Burger of your own, would love it if you make it and let me know how it was! 

Thank You for sharing this meal with me! Remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love,

Besitos

Salmon and Shrimp Burgers Recipe

Hola Amigos! Happy Monday. Summer is here to stay now! Yesterday we had a rather hot and humid 90 degree weather day. Ufff...it can't get a little too hot sometimes but it's all good because at night we had the most amazing Super Moon!!! Oh My Word!...what a beautiful sight it was! and if you allow me to say this, the first thought that crossed my mind was God is Good!
But back to our burger today, Grill Master " Big Boy" had friends over and he wanted to try something different for them, could you please get me some salmon burgers at the store? he said...so off the store I went, no pre made patties though, time to improvise with fresh wild caught salmon and why not...add some large raw shrimp into the mix. I've never done home made salmon burgers before and never for a hungry teen crowd, talk about pressure!!! There goes nothing, I said...and here are the results:

Salmon and Shrimp Hamburgers

1 1/2 Pounds Salmon, finely minced and skinned
12 oz Raw Large Shrimp, finely minced, save a couple for garnish
1 Cup Panko
1 TBSP Seafood Seasoning
1/3 Cup finely chopped trilogy (celery onion and bell peppers)
1tsps fresh grind ginger
1 clove garlic
salt and peper to taste (optional)
1 Large Egg beaten
1 tsps Lemon juice
1 TBSP Soy Sauce
Buns, lettuce, fixings of your preference (we prepared or "copy cat campfire mayo and our go to glaze) 
In a large bowl mix Minced Salmon, shrimp, panko, trilogy, ginger and garlic.Mix with your hands until all ingredients are fully combined. At this moment you may add salt of pepper if you choose to, I did not.
In a separate bowl, combine egg, soy sauce and lemon juice.
Add this mixture to the salmon and shrimp bowl, mix and at this point make your patties.
Oil your grill (very important), place your burgers and cook to desired doneness . 
As soon as your burgers are done, grill the saved shrimp for a couple of seconds and garnish each burger with one of them . 
Fix them to your liking 
Listo. 

I tell you friends I had to steal 2 burgers in order to take some pictures, because I think they were gone the minute they were out of the grill, teens can really devour food when they feel like it, lol

I figure either they were good or the kids were plain hungry!

But it turns out they were good! As a matter of fact, I even heard the "we gotta make these again"! Whoot Whoot! Victory!

I think I've a hit among the teen crowd and will keep them coming for more!
Not quite sure is a good idea for my wallet, but I love to see them happy and well fed as you can see they also ate all of their veggies without protesting!

The campfire sauce is so easy, just 1/2 cup Mayo, 3 TBSP  BBQ Sauce and  1 TBSP Relish, yumm!

Yes there is a bit more work involved than just buying the ready made patties, but I tell you is well worthy, fresher taste, quality ingredients and best of all a happy crowd.

Thank You for visiting today! I hope your summer is extra warm with the love of your family and friends gathered around every meal!
Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love! 
Besitos,
Lizy

Black and Blue Burgers with Pimento Dressing Recipe

Hola Amigos! Hope all mothers out there had a great Mother's Day weekend!. Mine was blessed with my kids, husband and a visit to my mother in law! Sweet lady I love deeply. My mom lives overseas with the rest of my family so I got to talk on the phone with her!

Getting back on track with cooking, let me introduce you my son the Grill Master! This Handsome young man (yeah...I have bragging rights here) is my oldest son and He really LOVES to grill.


I guess he got it from his Grandfather, who just got a brand new grill for Xmas last year and his uncle (my brother) who loves grilling everything he comes across!. Today's dish is courtesy on my oldest and his grilling abilities.

Black and Blue Burgers

1 1/2 Ground Black Angus
3/4 Cup Blue Cheese
4 oz Bacon Crisp and crumbled
1 large onion caramelized 
1 1/2 Pound Baby Spinach
Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix all these ingredients and you will get 6 good size patties. Don't be alarmed to see big leaves of spinach in your burger, they will pretty much disappear as soon as you grill them!  Grill them to your liking and serve in an onion bun with the Pimento Dressing if you like!


Pimento Dressing
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise 
3TBPS Pimento
1/4 Cup Blue Cheese Crumbled
1 TBSP ketchup
1 TSPS Hot sauce
Mix it all together and serve with your burger!

They are delicious. Crispy in the outside and juice in the inside (my hibs likes them well done) , with bits of caramelized onions, crispy bacon and spinach!

The Pimento Dressing Kicks it up a notch with a tangy and hot flavor! You won't be asking for the ketchup!

Hope you enjoy my Big Boy's recipe and grilling, he was very excited to make his debut in mom's blog (well after a lot of convincing that is, LOL)

Remember everything tastes better with a Pinch Of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy
