Instructions

  1. Heat grill or grill pan to high. Season burger patties with salt and pepper and grill until pink, 6 minutes per side for medium. Add cheese and let melt, 1 minute.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, fry eggs until whites are set and yolks are runny, 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Transfer eggs to a plate and add bacon to skillet. Cook until crispy, 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.

  4. Assemble burgers: Top bun bottom with 2 slices bacon, patty, and fried egg and drizzle with ketchup or hot sauce.

Why this Cheesy Breakfast Burger works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this Cheesy Breakfast Burger is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
