After years of entering Sutter Home Winery’s Build a Better Burger Contest, I was finally picked as a regional semifinalist. My burger is far from the traditional all beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun that we’ve all been programmed to expect. No, my burger was actually a sirloin and breakfast sausage patty on a buttermilk biscuit with pepper jelly, bacon, kale-apple-citrus slaw, and a runny fried egg, and it was a hit among the judges and guests.

- Place burgers onto the grill. Grill for 4 minutes and flip. Grill for another 4-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Remove from grill to rest.
- In a hot skillet, melt 2-3 TBSP butter. Fry eggs to sunny side up–approximately 2-2 1/2 minutes.
- To assemble, place a burger on the jellied side of the bottom biscuit. Top with 2 pieces of bacon, a 1/4 c. slaw, and a sunny side up egg. Top with biscuit top and serve.
