  This is the kind of epic burger we can't resist making. I mean, bacon makes everything better right? Wrapping a cheese-stuffed burger in bacon just makes sense. After crisping up that bacon on a hot grill pan, it adds just the right amount of savory crispiness that you crave when you bite into a burger.

Fold up the strips of bacon over the burger, trimming the ends of the slices as necessary so they lay in a flat layer. Repeat this process to form the second burger. Place the burgers seam-side down on a grill pan over high heat. Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached, making sure to flip the burger on it’s sides to crisp up the bacon on all sides.

INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add flour to one bowl, beaten eggs to a second bowl and combine the breadcrumbs, cayenne, salt and pepper for the fries in a third bowl. Dredge the avocado slices in the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally the spiced breadcrumbs. Lay in an even layer on a greased, rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until the fries are golden and crispy. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Serve with the fries, fresh from the oven.
