Burger Patties

Caramelized Onions

Fried Egg

Cheese and Sauce

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

Method

Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Caramelized Onions

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Fried Egg

  1. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In the same skillet used for the patties, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your liking (sunny side up or over easy).

Cheese and Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Dijonnaise

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make the dijonnaise sauce.

  2. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 1-2 minutes.

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, fresh rosemary, and salt.

  2. 8

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 9

    Build the Burger

    On a plate, place one cheesy patty, top it with caramelized onions, a fried egg, and a generous dollop of dijonnaise. Add the second patty on top.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the smashed burger melt alongside the rosemary roasted potatoes.
