Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Spray oil in the pan
    A hand spraying a fine mist of cooking oil onto the bottom surface of a black frying pan.

    Spray an even layer of cooking oil across the surface of a black frying pan to prepare it for cooking the lazy kids breakfast burgers.

    Tip: Using an oil spray bottle helps control the amount of oil and ensures an even, light coating.
  2. 2Pour beaten egg liquid
    Bright yellow beaten eggs being poured from a clear measuring cup into a hot frying pan.

    Pour the freshly beaten yellow egg liquid from a measuring cup directly into the oiled frying pan.

    Tip: Pour in a steady stream so the egg liquid spreads out evenly across the pan.
  3. 3Place burger buns in the pan
    A hand placing two burger buns upside down into a pool of raw yellow egg mixture in a frying pan.

    Place two burger buns upside down into the wet egg mixture before it fully sets.

    Tip: Gently press the buns into the egg so they absorb the mixture and bond properly as it cooks.
  4. 4Flip the egg and buns
    A spatula flipping a round cooked egg and burger bun layer inside a frying pan.

    Carefully flip the egg and burger bun combination over in the pan using a spatula to cook the other side.

    Tip: Ensure the egg is fully set before flipping to keep it intact.
  5. 5Fold the edges of the egg
    A cooked golden egg sheet being folded around two burger buns inside a frying pan.

    Use a spatula to fold the cooked edges of the egg sheet neatly inward around the base of the burger buns.

    Tip: Fold while the egg is still pliable to create a clean wrap around the buns.
  6. 6Add a slice of cheese
    A hand placing a square slice of yellow cheese onto the cooked egg package in the frying pan.

    Place a square slice of yellow cheese directly on top of the folded egg package.

    Tip: The residual heat from the freshly cooked egg will help melt the cheese nicely.
  7. 7Add a slice of ham
    A folded slice of pink ham being layered over the cheese inside the cooked egg wrap in the pan.

    Place a slice of folded pink ham directly on top of the cheese slice inside the folded egg wrapper.

    Tip: Fold the ham gently so it fits neatly within the boundaries of the egg.
  8. 8Add green lettuce
    A fresh green lettuce leaf being placed over the ham layer inside the pan.

    Place a fresh piece of green lettuce leaf on top of the ham layer.

    Tip: Make sure the lettuce is dry before adding it to prevent excess moisture in the warm pan.
  9. 9Add a tomato slice
    A slice of red tomato being added on top of the lettuce leaf layer.

    Place a slice of red tomato on top of the green lettuce layer.

    Tip: Pat the tomato slice lightly with a paper towel if it is overly juicy.
  10. 10Squeeze salad dressing
    White salad dressing being drizzled in a spiral pattern over the tomato slice.

    Squeeze white salad dressing in a spiral pattern over the tomato slice.

    Tip: Use your childrens favorite dressing for a flavor they will love.
  11. 11Assemble the lazy burgers
    Hands placing the top burger bun over the layered ingredients and wrapping the egg edges around it.

    Place the top burger bun over the assembled layers and wrap the edges of the folded egg up around the ingredients to complete the lazy burger.

    Tip: Press down lightly so the ingredients hold together securely.

Frequently Asked Questions

These burgers are best enjoyed immediately after assembly while the egg wrapper is warm and the cheese is melted. Making them ahead of time can cause the fresh lettuce and tomatoes to release moisture into the buns.
Classic mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, or any favorite creamy kids sauce works wonderfully to tie the layers together.
Make sure the egg liquid is fully set on the bottom before attempting to flip or fold the edges around the burger buns.
