Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 4 large Egg
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and divide into four equal portions.
Shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than your cheese slices as they will shrink during cooking.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan to let the cheese melt.
Remove the cooked patties and let them rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and crack the eggs. Fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and onion into thin slices.
Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on a plate, followed by a cheesy beef patty, a few slices of avocado, tomato, and onion.
Top each burger with a fried egg and serve immediately.
