Fried Egg Burger (with Roasted Garlic Mayo!)
Description
This Fried Egg Burger starts with seasoned beef patties cooked over medium-high heat to a medium or medium-rare finish. Separately, sliced mushrooms are sautéed with garlic for added earthiness. Eggs are fried gently and flipped carefully to maintain yolk integrity, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. The assembled burger layers cooked bacon, sliced avocado drizzled with lemon, vine-ripened tomato slices, cheese (havarti or cheddar), lettuce or arugula, and the homemade roasted garlic mayonnaise made by blending roasted garlic with mayo, lemon juice, and paprika for a tangy, smoky note.
The burger combines warm, juicy meat with the creaminess of avocado and mayo, the crispness of lettuce, and the savory mushrooms and bacon. The roasted garlic mayo enhances the overall umami experience. It is suitable for a hearty main course or a substantial sandwich offering.
The recipe suggests flexibility in egg doneness and the option to omit mushrooms if preferred. Roasted garlic mayo can be stored chilled for about a week, and substitutions like plain mayo or mustard can be used though the garlic mayo is highlighted as a key flavor element. Cooking eggs to personal preference ensures customer satisfaction.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef 80/20 lean
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz mushrooms any variety, sliced
- 4 whole egg
- 8 lices Bacon cooked and drained
- 1 whole avocado semi-ripe, sliced, drizzled with lemon juice
- 1 whole tomato vine-ripened, sliced thinly
- 4 lices cheese havarti or cheddar
- lettuce torn to size, or arugula
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- olive oil light, for cooking
For Roasted Garlic Mayo
- 1 head garlic recipe here, roasted
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 TB lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make Roasted Garlic Mayo: Mash roasted garlic. Mix well with mayonnaise, lemon, and paprika. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and keep chilled, up to one week in fridge.
- Liberally season beef with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 large, evenly sized patties; set aside at room temperature. Preheat grill on medium-high heat.
- Heat 2 TB oil in large pan until hot. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft. Remove from heat, drain well, and set aside.
- Heat up 2 TB oil in large nonstick pan on medium high. Crack two eggs directly into pan and sprinkle on salt and pepper. After about 30 seconds to 1 minute, carefully flip to other side, taking care not to break yolks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until your desired doneness. Heat up another 2 TB oil and repeat with other 2 eggs. Remove from heat.
- Grill burgers to medium-rare or medium, depending on taste - approximately 3 minutes per side, but actual cook time varies depending on true heat of grill.
- Assemble burgers: spread garlic mayo on buns, layer on the lettuce, tomato, bacon, mushrooms, and beef patties. Place cheese over patties and top with eggs. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can cook the eggs to your preferred doneness for best results.
- The roasted garlic mayo adds distinctive flavor, but plain mayo or mustard can be used as a simpler alternative.
- If desired, omit mushrooms for a more straightforward burger.
- Store the roasted garlic mayo in the refrigerator, ideally using it within one week.
