Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 teaspoon unsalted onion powder
• 1 teaspoon unsalted garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 fresh lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 2 whole wheat hamburger buns
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 avocado (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly wider than your hamburger buns.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until the edges begin to brown.

Step 4

Flip the burgers and cook an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Step 6

Split the whole wheat hamburger buns and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a slice of tomato, followed by a beef patty.

Step 8

Top each burger with a fried egg. If using, add slices of avocado for extra flavor.

Step 9

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately while the burgers are warm and the egg yolks are still runny.
