No reviews

A hearty plant-based burger topped with a golden sunny-side-up egg for a simple, protein-packed meal that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 plant-based burger patty

  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 hamburger bun

Instructions

  1. Cook the veggie patty. Prepare the plant-based burger patty according to the package directions. If using a homemade patty, cook it until heated through and lightly browned.

  2. Heat the pan. Place a small sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil.

  3. Cook the egg. Crack the egg into the pan and cook for approximately 3–4 minutes, or until the egg white is fully set and the yolk remains golden.

  4. Assemble the burger. Place the cooked veggie patty on the bottom half of the hamburger bun.

  5. Add the egg. Carefully slide the sunny-side-up egg onto the burger patty.

  6. Finish and serve. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Follow the patty instructions: Plant-based burger patties vary, so use the package directions for the best cooking results.

  • Use a nonstick pan: This makes cooking and transferring the egg easier.

  • Toast the bun: Lightly toast the hamburger bun to give it a crisp texture and help it hold the toppings.

  • Cook the egg last: Prepare the egg just before serving so it stays warm and fresh.

  • Choose your preferred doneness: A runny yolk gives the burger a rich finish, while a fully cooked yolk is a safer option for higher-risk individuals.
