Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 2 units Large eggs
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 4 units Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 unit Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2: Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 1.5 cm thick.
Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 6-8 minutes total for medium-well.
Step 4: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 5: In a separate small pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry to your preference (sunny side up or over easy), seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper.
Step 6: While the eggs cook, split the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice each half thinly.
Step 7: To assemble, lay a large romaine lettuce leaf out as the base of each 'bun.' Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by avocado slices and a fried egg.
Step 8: Top it with another romaine lettuce leaf to complete the burger.
Step 9: Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb classic breakfast burger.
