1

Preheat the grill to medium heat.
2

Prepare the burgers: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the bacon, green onions, blue cheese, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
3

Using a fork, combine the beef with the egg mixture in a large bowl.
4

Form the mixture into 8 burger patties.
5

Make the blackening spice: Whisk together the brown sugar, red pepper flakes, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Dust the spice mix onto the patties. Lightly rub the blackening spice onto both sides and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
6

Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Fix the buns: After cooking, place each burger in a warmed bun and add your favorite toppings.
