Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese (optional)
- Burger toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)
Cooking Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
- Gently form each portion into a patty, being careful not to overwork the meat. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2: Grill or Cook the Patties
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the beef patties on the grill or in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the eggs. Heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to your preferred level of doneness. Sunny-side up or over-easy is ideal for topping the burgers.
Step 4: Assemble the Burgers
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they’re lightly golden.
- Place a beef patty with or without melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun.
- Top the patty with a cooked egg.
- Add your favorite burger toppings and condiments.
- Finish with the top half of the bun.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve your Egg Burgers immediately while they’re hot and the cheese is gooey.
- Pair them with crispy fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
Additional Tips
- Customize your Egg Burgers with toppings like crispy bacon, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or caramelized onions for added flavor.
- Don’t forget to season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking for extra taste.
