2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
3. Form ground chuck into 3 equal sized patties. Use a small glass to cut out the center of each patty to create a donut shaped burger. Combine excess meat to form a fourth donut shaped burger. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add butter and melt. Add burgers and cook for 2 minutes per side. Crack an egg into the center of each burger. Cover the skillet and cook until whites are set, 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Place spread on the split sides of the bottom hamburger buns. Build each burger by topping with lettuce, a burger, 2 slices bacon, 1 slice Cheddar cheese, and a top bun.

Tips

For a cool presentation, slice burgers in half to expose the egg.
