Alright, I’m Hungry already!
It is time to eat but I want it just right. Try this next time you grill out. The Omelet Burger. This burger can be messy, tough to make, big and time consuming. And, it is not a matter of taste so much as it the art of it.
It can be made several ways. You can scramble or fry the egg first. Or you can whisk the egg or just crack it raw. It is your choice.
What do you want in your omelette? Pick what you want, chop it very fine and set it aside. Think small portions.
If you are frying the egg then just mix the portions in with the meat and then stick the egg on top.
If you are scrambling the egg then mix the portions in like you would normally do. Once cooked take the amount of ground chuck you want to make and create a bowl with half of it. Take a portion of the scrambled egg mix and place in the bowl (or just mix the scrambled egg in with the meat). Cover and fold over with the remaining chuck creasing edges to create a seal. You can take a cooked fried egg and do the same or just stick it on top after the burger is cooked. Also, think about a sunny side up egg to put in the pouch. A bit more manageable.
Remember that you are trying to make a small wall around the tops and bottoms not a fortress.
The hard way. Make your bowl/pouch with the bottom piece of chuck. Whether whisked or raw put the egg in with your ingredients. Don’t forget to season your meat, salt, pepper, chili powder, basil, rosemary, thyme, curry, whatever. Take the top half of the meat and fold it over being sure to crease the edges to seal in the runny egg.
Throw on the grill or cook top (delicately) and see what you made.
By the way, no one will be impressed with this dish. And, if they are, then throw your martini on them!

I tried Spoonfed for the first time today and it was great! I had the Killer Quesadilla with chicken and a side of rice, but I can’t wait to try other menu items!
Awesome idea, Jason!
Thanks!
