Ingredients:

🥩 1/2 lb ground beef
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧂 Salt to taste
⚫ Black pepper to taste
🥚 1 egg
🧅 1/2 small onion,
🌿 sliced 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
🧀 Oaxaca cheese, as needed
🍅 1 tomato, sliced
🍞 1 hamburger bun (brioche style)
🥄 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
🛢️ Oil for searing

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef Patty:
- Season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
- Shape the beef into a patty slightly larger than the bun to account for shrinkage during cooking.
Caramelize the Onion:
- Heat oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion and thyme sprigs. Cook until the onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Sear the Patty:
- In the same skillet, sear the formed patty until browned on both sides.
- To keep it juicy, add a splash of water and continue cooking until desired doneness is achieved.
Melt the Cheese:
- Place Oaxaca cheese on top of the patty and allow it to melt.
- Add caramelized onions over the melted cheese.
Cook the Egg:
- In the remaining juices of the skillet, cook the egg to your preference—either fried or sunny side up.
Toast the Bun:
- Spread mayonnaise on both halves of the brioche bun.
- Toast the buns until golden and slightly crispy.
Assemble the Burger:
- Start with the bottom bun, layer sliced tomato.
- Add the cheesy patty topped with onions.
- Place the cooked egg on top.
- Finish with the top bun and give it a gentle press.
Serve:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delectable flavors with a side of your choice.
