Ingredients
- 8 oz ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cheddar cheese slice
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 burger bun
- 4 medium fresh tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 small diced onion
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut 4 medium fresh tomatoes in half, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and roast on a baking sheet for 25 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
- Step 2: While tomatoes roast, mix 8 oz ground beef with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, forming a 4-inch patty. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patty for 4 minutes per side until cooked through. Add 1 slice cheddar cheese on top and cover to melt for 1 minute.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, fry 1 large egg sunny side up with a pinch of salt until whites are set but yolk remains runny, about 3 minutes.
- Step 4: In a saucepan, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 small diced onion, sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Step 5: Add the roasted tomatoes to the saucepan with 2 cups vegetable broth and 1 tsp dried basil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then carefully blend until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and season with salt to taste, warming for 2 more minutes.
- Step 6: Toast 1 burger bun lightly, assemble the burger by placing the beef patty with melted cheese, then the fried egg on top. Serve alongside a bowl of the roasted tomato soup.
