- When you flip the hamburgers, add the bacon to the grill and cook until crispy. NOTE: The fat in the bacon will cause flames and smoke so be sure to turn often to avoid burning.
- Place a small non-stick skillet with non-stick spray on the grill and cook the egg to over medium and set aside.
- Once everything is almost finished, brush the inside of the focaccia bread with the melted butter and place on the grill to toast. NOTE: Should only take 2 to 3 minutes.
