Ingredients:
For the Burger:
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
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, white vinegar, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
Cover and refrigerate the sauce to allow the flavors to meld.
Toast the Buns:
Spread butter on the cut sides of the sesame seed buns.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns until golden brown.
Set aside.
Cook the Beef Patties:
Shape the ground chuck into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties until they reach your desired doneness, flipping once.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Fry the Eggs:
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
Fry the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or cook to your preference.
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Layer with avocado slices, a beef patty with melted cheese, and a fried egg.
Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve:
Serve the burgers immediately for the best experience, enjoying the blend of creamy avocado, rich cheese, savory beef, and flavorful sauce.
Serving Tips:
Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the burgers right after assembling. The crispy toasted buns and the runny egg yolk create a delightful contrast.
Pair with Sides: Complement your burger with classic sides like crispy fries, sweet potato fries, or a fresh green salad. A side of pickles or coleslaw also works well.
Garnish: Add some fresh greens like lettuce or spinach for extra crunch and freshness. You can also top with sliced tomatoes or pickled onions for added flavor.
Customizations: Offer additional toppings and condiments like lettuce, tomato, or extra pickles to let everyone customize their burger to their liking.
Storage Tips:
Storing Leftovers: If you have leftover cooked patties or sauce, store them separately in airtight containers. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking.
Refrigeration: Store cooked patties and special sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the patties.
Freezing Patties: Freeze cooked patties in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the patties in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Reheat the sauce separately if needed.
Avoid Freezing Buns and Eggs: Buns and fried eggs do not freeze well. Toasted buns are best enjoyed fresh, and fried eggs should be made just before serving.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of cheese for the burger?
Absolutely! While cheddar cheese is recommended for its meltability and flavor, you can substitute it with other types of cheese like Swiss, provolone, or American. Just choose a cheese that melts well and complements the other ingredients in the burger.
How can I make this burger recipe gluten-free?
To make this burger gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps instead of sesame seed buns. Ensure that your special sauce ingredients are also gluten-free, as some processed items may contain gluten. Verify all labels if you’re using store-bought products.
Can I prepare the special sauce in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the special sauce up to a week in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This not only saves time on the day of serving but also allows the flavors to meld and develop further.
What can I use instead of frying the eggs if I want a healthier option?
If you prefer a healthier option, you can cook the eggs using a different method such as poaching or baking. Poached eggs will give you a similar runny yolk without the added oil, and baked eggs can be prepared in advance and used as a substitute.
Conclusion:
This Burger with Fried Egg and Special Sauce is a surefire way to impress at your next cookout or satisfy your burger cravings at home. Enjoy every bite of this indulgent and mouthwatering creation!
