In a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Cook the brisket patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Set aside.

Prepare the fried eggs. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your preferred level of doneness (usually over-easy or sunny-side-up for a runny yolk). Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

Notes:
- I prefer day-old doughnuts so they are slightly sturdier and can bear the weight of the toppings.
