Indulge in the ultimate guilt-free treat with this Low Carb Perfect Egg Burger, a protein-packed masterpiece that swaps traditional buns for crisp lettuce leaves, making it ideal for keto and low-carb lifestyles. Juicy ground beef patties are generously seasoned with garlic powder and black pepper, then topped with gooey cheddar cheese and a perfectly fried sunny-side-up egg, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. Fresh slices of creamy avocado, zesty onion rings, and ripe tomato add vibrant layers of texture and taste to this wholesome creation. Quick to prepare and loaded with healthy fats and nutrients, this burger makes a satisfying, gluten-free meal thatβs perfect for lunch or dinner.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to incorporate the seasonings evenly throughout the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh carefully. Cut into thin slices.
In another pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up in a little olive oil until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
When the beef patties are almost done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the cheese melt completely.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on each serving plate. Top with the beef patty, then add a fried egg, tomato slices, avocado slices, and onion rings.
Cover with another lettuce leaf to form a 'bun'.
Serve immediately while the egg yolks are still runny and the cheese is warm and melty.
