Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

This idea is revolutionary. I mean, who would ever think about making a burger that was crispy and breaded, right?

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chuck
• Olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 eggs, beaten
• Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 hamburger buns, split in half and toasted
• Mayonnaise

Procedure

1. Form chuck into 4-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick, with a slight depression in the middle. Season on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Dip burgers into beaten egg. Dredge in panko breadcrumbs and set aside.
3. Heat a griddle over medium high heat 2-3 minutes. Add enough olive oil to generously coat the pan, and add patties. Cook 3 minutes per side for medium rare, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 minutes per side for well done.
4. Spread cut side of buns with mayo. Add a patty on top of the bottom half of a bun, then top with top half. Serve warm.
