Ingredients
Scale
For the Burgers
- 1 lb ground chuck
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 4 sesame seed buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Special Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons relish
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Special Sauce: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the mayonnaise, relish, white vinegar, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Once combined, cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toast the Buns: Spread butter evenly on the cut sides of the sesame seed buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat, then place the buns cut side down and toast them until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Divide the ground chuck into four equal portions and form each into a patty. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties, flipping once, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese over each patty to melt.
- Fry the Eggs: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, or cook longer if preferred. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of the prepared special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with avocado slices, then place the cheesy beef patty on top, followed by a fried egg. Cap with the top half of the bun.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the burgers while hot to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy buns, melted cheese, creamy avocado, and rich egg yolk.
Notes
- For a firmer egg yolk, cook the eggs longer or flip them to make over-easy.
- To make the burger extra juicy, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese variety.
- Use ripe avocado for a creamy texture that complements the rich flavors.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
