Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce or ketchup for serving

How to Make Breakfast Burger with Fried Egg

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. While the grill is heating, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
  4. While the burgers are cooking, heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, cooking them sunny-side up for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  5. During the last minute of cooking the burgers, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burgers by placing a beef patty on the bottom half of each bun, topping it with fresh spinach and a fried egg. Drizzle with hot sauce or ketchup if desired. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For an extra flavor kick, mix some Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before forming patties.
  • Use a food thermometer to ensure your burgers are cooked safely.
  • If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook the egg for an additional minute.
  • Keep the spinach fresh by adding it just before serving.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out ground beef for turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
  • Add cheese! A slice of cheddar or pepper jack melted on the patty will take it to the next level.
  • Top with avocado slices or sautéed mushrooms for added richness.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy hash browns or home fries for a classic side.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
  • A side of yogurt with granola for a balanced breakfast spread.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover burger patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid reheating the fried egg, as it’s best enjoyed fresh.
