Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Arugula
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 large, thinly sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk together to create the dressing.
In a mixing bowl, add the arugula, sliced red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Drizzle with half of the dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if necessary.
Crack each egg into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook sunny-side up or until desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each egg, then set aside.
Toast the whole wheat buns in a separate skillet or toaster until they are lightly golden and warm.
To assemble the burger, spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a handful of the dressed salad on the sauce, followed by crumbled feta cheese. Top with the cooked egg.
Add the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, you can drizzle some of the remaining dressing over the egg for extra flavor.
