Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for flavor)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 4 burger buns
• 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the buns)
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

How to Make Savory Breakfast Burger

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
3. Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. While the burgers are cooking, heat another skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, sunny-side up or over-easy.
5. In the last minute of cooking, toast the burger buns in the same skillet used for the burgers until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh herbs before closing the bun.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers are cooked perfectly.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
• If you prefer, swap cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese variety.

Easy Variations

• Add crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
• Top with avocado slices or guacamole for a creamy addition.
• Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for a twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy hash browns or breakfast potatoes
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• A side of mixed greens with vinaigrette
• Coffee or a smoothie to complete the breakfast experience
