Ingredients

For the Burgers and Toppings

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, white vinegar, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld while preparing the rest of the burger components.
  2. Toast the Buns: Spread butter evenly on the cut sides of the sesame seed buns. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns, buttered side down, until they are golden and slightly crisp. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Beef Patties: Form the ground chuck into four equal-sized patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  4. Fry the Eggs: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes, or cook longer if preferred. Season with a pinch of salt.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with avocado slices, then place a cheese-topped burger patty on top. Add a fried egg over each patty. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve the burgers right after assembling to enjoy the perfect texture and warm flavors. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the level of doneness for the beef patties according to your preference.
  • For a healthier option, use low-fat mayonnaise or avocado oil instead of butter.
  • If you prefer fully cooked egg yolks, cook the eggs longer or consider scrambling instead.
  • The special sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • To enhance the burger, add fresh lettuce, tomato slices, or pickles if desired.
