1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the ground beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4
Fry the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, fry the sunny side eggs over medium heat. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the beef patty with melted cheddar, followed by the sliced ham, fresh arugula, and the fried sunny side egg. Drizzle chipotle aioli on top and place the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
