Toppings1. in a medium bowl, prepare an ice bath with cold water and ice.
2. Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Using a spoon, lower 4 large eggs into the boiling water; lower heat to a gentle boil and cook eggs for 10 minutes.
3. to make the eggs easier to peel, drop hot eggs into the prepared ice bath to shock.
4. Crack and peel shells off the eggs and slice eggs into quarters; set aside until assembly.
5. Preheat a medium pan over medium heat and lay strips of applewood smoked bacon in the pan; fry bacon for 2 minutes per side, or to desired crispness.
6. Drain bacon on a paper towel until assembly.
Patty1. Preheat grill.
2. to make burger patties, combine ground chuck, sirloin, brisket, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well to combine. Divide mixture into four 6-oz patties.
3. Place burgers on preheated grill and cook for 4 minutes; flip patties and spoon blue cheese onto the cooked side of the burger to melt as the second side grills.
4. Continue grilling for 4 minutes, or until juices run clear; while burgers grill, place open buns over indirect heat on the grill to toast.
Assembly1. to assemble the burgers, top each bottom bun with three large leaves of Boston lettuce.
2. Add two slices of bacon to each burger, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of red onion, 2 slices of dill pickle, and 4 slices of avocado.
3. Place burger patties on top of the avocado and top each burger with one sliced hardboiled egg.
4. Top burgers with ranch dressing, to taste. Add the top of the bun and skewer burgers to hold them together.
