Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
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.
