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.
Step 2
Place 1 slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, then remove and set aside.
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.
Step 4
Toast the 2 buns in the skillet until golden, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Assemble each burger with lettuce, tomato, the cheesy patty, and a fried egg. Serve with fries if desired.
