Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Ground beef
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny side up, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Add a pinch of salt to each egg for flavor.
While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Thinly slice the red onion.
To assemble the burger, place a beef patty on a serving plate. Top each patty with a sunny side up egg, a handful of fresh spinach, slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Serve immediately, optionally with a knife and fork given the lack of a traditional bun.
