Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Arugula
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 large, thinly sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk together to create the dressing.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add the arugula, sliced red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Drizzle with half of the dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if necessary.
Step 4
Crack each egg into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook sunny-side up or until desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each egg, then set aside.
Step 5
Toast the whole wheat buns in a separate skillet or toaster until they are lightly golden and warm.
Step 6
To assemble the burger, spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 7
Place a handful of the dressed salad on the sauce, followed by crumbled feta cheese. Top with the cooked egg.
Step 8
Add the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, you can drizzle some of the remaining dressing over the egg for extra flavor.
