Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 pieces whole pickles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and form them into patties with your hands.
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking (sunny side up is recommended for runny yolks).
While the eggs are cooking, slice the tomato into thick slices, and slice the red onion into rings.
To assemble the burgers, start with a lettuce leaf as the base, place a burger patty on top, followed by a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and the cooked egg.
Add a dollop of Dijon mustard and top with a pickle slice.
Finish by adding another lettuce leaf on top, creating a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Perfect Egg Burger!
