Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 hamburger patties
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 burger buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion
Instructions
- Prepare your cooking station by gathering all ingredients and equipment: skillet, spatula, mixing bowl, whisk, and cutting board.
- Season hamburger patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until they reach desired doneness.
- While patties are cooking, crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Remove cooked hamburger patties from skillet and set aside on a plate. Reduce skillet heat to medium-low.
- Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet, allowing them to spread evenly. Cook eggs gently, using a spatula to lift edges and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully place cooked hamburger patty in the center of the cheese-covered egg section.
- Fold the other half of the omelette over the patty, creating a half-moon shape that encases the burger.
- Toast burger buns lightly if desired. Place the omelette-covered burger patty onto the bottom bun.
- Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or onion to enhance flavor and texture.
- Top with the second bun, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Temperature Control is Key: Use medium-low heat when cooking your eggs to prevent burning and ensure a creamy, soft omelette texture.
- Cheese Matters: Choose a cheese that melts well like cheddar, monterey jack, or a blend for maximum flavor and gooey goodness.
- Patty Perfection: Season your hamburger patties generously and avoid over-flipping to maintain juiciness and develop a nice sear.
- Egg Whisking Technique: Whisk eggs thoroughly and add a splash of milk or cream for extra fluffiness.
- Fresh Toppings: Use crisp, fresh vegetables to add crunch and balance the richness of the burger and eggs.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your cooking to serve right away.
