Prep Time:

10 minutes

Servings:

2 burgers

Ingredients

• 2 hamburger buns
• 2 beef burger patties (about 150g each)
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon butter

2. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
3. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking so it melts.

5. Cut the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them with butter.
6. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the buns.
