Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 2 cups frozen french fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. Step 2

    While fries bake, divide the 0.5 pound ground beef into 2 patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook the patties until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. In the last minute, place 1 cheese slice on each patty to melt.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, fry the 2 eggs sunny-side up until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Toast the 2 burger buns in the skillet until lightly golden. Assemble each bun with a patty and a fried egg. Serve with the hot fries.
