I am always hunting for the next great breakfast innovation in New York City, and you can usually find it hidden in plain sight. But when I heard about a burger joint in Brooklyn combining sweet, thick French toast with a classic savory egg sandwich, I knew I had to pull up immediately. Butcher’s Burger in Bensonhurst is changing the morning game entirely. They are known for their burgers, but what they are doing with breakfast on a screaming hot flat top is an absolute masterpiece.
The moment I walked in, the sweet aroma of maple and the savory hiss of bacon hit me instantly. I went straight to the back to watch them build this absolute beast. The preparation here is pure magic.
Sizzling Omelet Perfection
They start by cracking three fresh eggs into a bowl and whisking them up. The eggs hit the flat top, sizzling instantly into a large, thin omelet sheet. Then the chef gets to work layering the flavor profiles. They pack the hot eggs with a slice of classic American cheese before adding five strips of super crispy, perfectly browned bacon.
But they do not stop there. They add even more cheese right on top of the bacon. This is not your average breakfast sandwich assembly. They fold the omelet over itself into a neat, layered package, capturing all that gooey goodness inside. Then they slide the entire mass right between two thick slices of sweet, golden French toast. Look at that mix!
The Money Shot
Once the savory omelet is perfectly snuggled between the sweet toast, they scoop up the entire massive sandwich. They wrap it up tight in butcher paper to let everything steam together for a second, then slice it right down the middle.
When you pull it apart, the cheese is oozing out of the sides, creating a gorgeous waterfall of yellow goodness. Look at that pull! The final step is a heavy drizzle of rich syrup right over the top. Drenched. The result? Incredible.
It is juicy, sweet, savory, and packed with an intense flavor profile that completely coats your mouth. The combination of the sweet French toast and crisp bacon creates an elite balance that is a total game-changer. I took a massive bite, and it melted instantly. This place calls it the Frenchenator, and it lives up to the hype. You need to pull up to Brooklyn and devour this right now.
