Friday night burgers

We’d talked about going out for dinner on last Friday night, but the weather turned stormy in the afternoon and suddenly staying home and having a good chin-wag while making burgers sounded much more appealing.

Here’s my burger, assembled into halves and ready to be combined into one. On the bun base: beef pattie, fried onions, fried egg, black pepper, tomato sauce. On the bun crown: mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, black pepper.

Here’s Jac’s burger. On the bun base: American mustard, beef pattie, melted cheddar cheese, fried onions, barbecue sauce, fried onions, diced pickles. On the bun crown: mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, black pepper.

Jac is very good at putting the two halves of the burger together without spilling the fillings in the process. After she assembled her burger she kindly helped me assemble mine. :) So here’s her burger, fully assembled. She’s quite fond of oak leaf lettuce, and liked the height it gave to our burgers.

And here’s my burger! I was worried my perfect egg yolk would burst before I got to do the bursting myself (with my teeth). So I was very careful how much pressure I put on it with the tomato, lettuce and bun until that much anticipated moment of biting.

A beautiful sight.

Here’s my burger from the other side, so you can see the beef pattie and some of the fried onions. I’m not sure where Jac got the burger patties from, but they were 100% beef and tasted very very beefy. Eating my burger was so messy, with egg yolk oozing and tomato sauce dripping… but it was so goooood.
