Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon unsalted onion powder
- 1 teaspoon unsalted garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 avocado (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly wider than your hamburger buns.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until the edges begin to brown.
Flip the burgers and cook an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Split the whole wheat hamburger buns and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a slice of tomato, followed by a beef patty.
Top each burger with a fried egg. If using, add slices of avocado for extra flavor.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately while the burgers are warm and the egg yolks are still runny.
