Directions
-
Mix ground beef with onions, garlic, spices and 1 whole egg. Mix to combine ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow spices to infuse meat.
-
Form the beef into four equal 1/4lb patties by hand.
-
Cooking methods can range from a flat-top, seared in a frying pan, grilled, or broiled. Use your preferred method! In this recipe I will sear the burger in a frying pan. In a frying pan over medium heat add equal parts of butter and vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
-
Add burgers to the pan and cook on each side for 6-8 minutes until both sides are caramelized. Pull burgers out of pan and let sit for 1-2 minutes, temperature should be at medium. (If you prefer a more cooked temperature, transfer burgers and pan into a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes)
-
In a skillet, fry eggs in butter until over easy. Do not flip the eggs! Only cook them on one side to ensure yolk remains warm and runny!
-
Assemble the burgers! Place the burger on the bun, with some arugula and basil, topped off with the over easy egg! Enjoy!
