Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the tomatoes
    A tomato being cut into slices with a white ceramic knife on a dark surface.

    Take a fresh tomato and slice it into even pieces using a white knife on a dark tray. This will serve as the refreshing, juicy base for the mini burger.

    Tip: Slice the tomatoes to a moderate thickness so they add moisture without making the burger soggy.
  2. 2Slice the Russian small pickles
    Several Russian small pickles being sliced into rounds with a white knife.

    Take a few Russian small pickles and slice them into thin rounds on the dark slate tray. These pickles will provide a sweet and sour crunch to cut through the richness of the meat.

    Tip: Slice the pickles thinly to evenly distribute their tangy flavor in every bite.
  3. 3Fry the egg
    An egg cracking into a warm pan with the yolk centered.

    Crack an egg directly into a lightly oiled pan over heat. Let it cook so that the edges become slightly charred while keeping the rich yolk intact.

    Tip: Fry until the edges develop a light crispness to enhance texture and lock in flavor.
  4. 4Add the Angus beef patty to the pan
    A packaged Angus beef patty held above a pan containing a fried egg.

    Take a vacuum-sealed Angus beef patty and prepare to place it into the pan right alongside the fried egg. Cooking them together saves time and combines the savory aromas.

    Tip: Keep the beef patty sealed until ready to cook to preserve its fresh meat juices.
  5. 5Toast the buns, meat, and egg

    Fry an egg in the pan on one side until slightly charred, and place the Angus beef patty next to it. Flip the egg and place the burger bun cut-side down in the pan to toast slightly.

    Tip: Toast the burger bun lightly and set it aside to rest the meat for a better texture later.
  6. 6Add a slice of cheese
    A hand placing a cheese slice over the ingredients in the hot pan.

    Place a low-fat cheese slice on top of the cooked meat patty to melt into a rich cheese blanket.

    Tip: Adding the cheese right after cooking lets the residual heat melt it perfectly onto the meat.
  7. 7Assemble the base with tomatoes

    Start assembling the burger on a dark plate by laying down refreshing, freshly sliced tomatoes on the toasted bottom bun.

    Tip: Fresh tomato slices add a sweet and juicy contrast to cut through the richness of the meat.
  8. 8Assemble the burger layers
    A freshly fried egg being carefully positioned on top of sliced tomatoes using metal tongs.

    Place the freshly fried egg directly on top of the refreshing tomato slices as part of building the mini burger stack.

    Tip: Ensure the egg is slightly charred to lock in extra richness before placing it over the vegetables.
  9. 9Layer with Russian pickles
    A single small pickle slice placed centrally on top of the fried egg and cheese.

    Add slices of Russian small pickles on top of the egg to introduce a sharp, tangy crunch.

    Tip: Pickles are essential for cutting through the grease and balancing the flavors of the burger.
  10. 10Season the burger

    Grind a light layer of mixed seasonings and spices directly over the assembled ingredients to enhance the overall taste.

    Tip: Freshly ground seasoning adds a fragrant aroma just before closing the burger.
