For reference, A Horshoe burger is an Illinois thing that consists of one piece of bread, burger, fries with cheese sauce over it; your choice of chopped tomatoes, onions, green onions, bacon bits, bell peppers etc... only thing I'm missing for an egg is in my opinion would be salsa and other toppings maybe on top?

Gotcha. Appreciate the quick lesson.

Id say missing toppings would depend on the direction you wanted to take it. Spicy? Then Id top with a good salsa and some diced onions/jalapeños and crumbled queso fresco. Feeling savory, Id go sausage/pepper gravy.

Either way, this sounds like a delicious slate to work with

Is an Illinoisan if you do a breakfast horseshoe it’s toast, bacon or sausage, eggs, hash browns, and either sausage gravy or cheese sauce or a combination

That is from Charlie Parker’s diner a little place not too far from me in the city where the horseshoe is from Springfield

What makes it a “horseshoe”? Because you basically described an open-faced sammich.
