Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure to press the center of each patty slightly to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.
4. While the patties are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, crack the eggs and fry them to your desired doneness.
6. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
7. To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom buns. Add a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on top.
8. Place the cooked patty with cheese on top of the tomato slice. Add a slice of bacon on top of the patty.
9. Place a fried egg on top of the bacon and close the burger with the top bun.
