Indulge in a hearty, protein-packed 'Paleo Burger with Fried Egg'—a guilt-free delight designed for paleo enthusiasts and anyone seeking a healthier twist on classic burgers. Featuring juicy, perfectly seasoned beef patties made with garlic and onion powders, this recipe swaps traditional buns for crisp lettuce leaves to keep it grain-free and low-carb. Each burger is layered with vibrant slices of tomato, creamy avocado, and zesty red onion before being crowned with a golden fried egg for an irresistible burst of flavor and texture. Cooked in nutrient-rich coconut oil, this wholesome meal comes together in just 35 minutes, making it a perfect option for quick weeknight dinners or satisfying weekend brunches. With paleo-friendly ingredients and elegant presentation, this burger delivers on taste, nutrition, and visual appeal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly integrated.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each 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, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the toppings: Slice the tomato, avocado, and half of the red onion.
To assemble the burgers, use the lettuce leaves as the 'buns'. Place a lettuce leaf on a plate, then stack a beef patty, slices of tomato, avocado, and red onion.
Top the stack with a fried egg and finish with another lettuce leaf.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining burgers. Serve immediately and enjoy!
