Instructions
Place all the burger ingredients (satureja, paprika, Soy Sauce, chili, salt and pepper) with a rusk into a medium mixing bowl.
Mince in. Mix it with hands until you get a nice homogeneous texture. Create 2 equal burgers of ½ cm and flatten them with your palm.
Next, heat up a knob of butter in a frying pan on high heat. Place the burgers in. Bake on one side for about 2 minutes until you see a color change in the middle.
Then, flip them over and bake until nicely golden (depending on their size, takes approximately 5 minutes in total).
Take off the heat. Put a slice of cheese on top of each, so it melts beautifully. Let them rest.
Heat up a knob of butter in the same frying pan on high heat.
Break the eggs in, season with paprika, salt and pepper and bake them for about 2-3 minutes. Then, flip them over and bake for a bit from the other side. Take off the heat.
Start layering.
Place a good layer of mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, whatever sauce you are in mood for, on each slice of bread.
Next, burgers with melted cheese. Then eggs and pickles. Cover with slices of bread (with an extra layer of your desirable topping).
Halve the sandwiches and serve the first of your burger meals.
Makes 2 serves.
