Ingredients
- Dressing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of grated lemon zest
- Cheeseburger Ingredients
- 2 pounds of lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 tablespoon of stone-ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 8 slices of Gruyere or aged Swiss cheese
- 8 mini pretzel buns, split
- Fried Eggs Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 8 large eggs
- Topping Ingredients
- Fresh arugula
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- Additional stone-ground mustard, optional
Instructions
- Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and mayonnaise together until combined. Let sit in the refrigerator.
- For making burgers, mix the next 6 ingredients together, tossing lightly until thoroughly mixed (make sure not to overmix).
- Form into 8 patties. Cover and grill over medium direct heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side until a thermometer reads 160 degrees. Use cheese to dredge on top; cover and keep grilling for 1 to 2 more minutes until cheese melts. On bun bottoms, place burgers. Keep warm.
- In each of 2 large skillets, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat (on stovetop or grill). Break eggs into a saucer or a custard cup, one egg at a time, then slide into pans gently. Lower heat to low right away. To make eggs sunny-side up, cook, cover, till yolks get thickened yet are not hard.
- For making basted eggs, during the cooking process, in the pan, spoon butter over the eggs. For making over-easy, flip eggs carefully for both sides to cook, yet do not cover the pan.
- For serving, spread over bun tops with mayonnaise mixture.
- Place tomatoes, arugula, and extra mustard (optional) onto burgers. Top burgers with fried eggs. Replace bun tops.
