Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide the 0.5 lb ground beef into 2 patties, season with salt and pepper, and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, then remove and set aside.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

    Toast the 2 buns in the skillet until golden, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Assemble each burger with lettuce, tomato, the cheesy patty, and a fried egg. Serve with fries if desired.
