Bertucci’s Burger With Fried Egg Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until they are softened and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

2. 2

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties, pressing them down slightly to create a smashed effect.

3. 3

   Cook the Burger Patties

   In a hot skillet or grill, cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheese on top (if desired) during the last minute of cooking.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs

   In a separate skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of the burger buns. Layer with shredded lettuce, the cooked patty, caramelized onions, pickles, and finally, the fried egg. Top with the other half of the bun.
