Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 4 burger buns
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, but do not overwork the meat to avoid tough patties.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink when cooked.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 4
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 5
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up or over-easy).
Step 7
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
Step 8
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on the grill until lightly golden brown.
Step 9
To assemble the burger, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 10
Place a lettuce leaf on the mayonnaise, followed by a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion.
Step 11
Top each with a beef patty, then carefully place a fried egg on top of the patty.
Step 12
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
