Ingredients
-
1 plant-based burger patty
-
1 teaspoon butter or oil
-
1 large egg
-
1 hamburger bun
Instructions
-
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.
-
Heat the pan. Place a small sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil.
-
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.
-
Assemble the burger. Place the cooked veggie patty on the bottom half of the hamburger bun.
-
Add the egg. Carefully slide the sunny-side-up egg onto the burger patty.
-
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.
