↓ The ingredients ↓ The steps

This loaded butter burger takes inspiration from street-style loaded sandwiches by combining a rich, steam-softened butter bun with a savory filling of eggs, spiced beef, and melted cheese. Sautéed red onions and bell peppers add vibrant color and texture, while a touch of chili oil brings a subtle kick to the comforting mix.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Steam-heat the butter burger bun
    A butter burger bun sitting in a frying pan with water around it, ready to be steamed with a lid.

    Place the butter burger bun in a frying pan, pour a little water near it, cover with a lid, and steam-heat on low heat.

    Tip: Adding a small amount of water creates steam that softens the bun and keeps it moist while heating.
  2. 2Crack eggs and add chili oil
    Two cracked eggs in a small golden bowl with a drizzle of red chili oil.

    Crack two eggs into a small metal bowl and pour chili oil directly on top of the eggs.

    Tip: Adding chili oil straight into the raw eggs infuses a subtle spice and rich color right from the start.
  3. 3Whisk the egg mixture
    Chopsticks whisking eggs and chili oil together inside a small metal bowl.

    Use chopsticks to thoroughly whisk and beat the eggs and chili oil together until well combined.

    Tip: Make sure to mix the chili oil evenly into the yolks and whites for consistent flavor and color.
  4. 4Prepare the pan with oil
    A frying pan with several small droplets of cooking oil sprayed on the surface.

    Spray a small amount of cooking oil evenly into the frying pan to prepare for stir-frying the vegetables.

    Tip: A light oil spray helps prevent sticking while keeping the vegetable stir-fry light and not greasy.
  5. 5Stir-fry and season vegetables
    Sliced red onions and bell peppers in a frying pan being seasoned with salt and pepper using kitchen scissors.

    Add sliced red onion and bell pepper into the heated pan, then season with black pepper and sea salt while stir-frying.

    Tip: Seasoning early allows the onions and peppers to absorb the salt and pepper as they soften.
  6. 6Add pre-cooked meat
    Pre-cooked meat strips being stir-fried alongside red onions and bell peppers in a frying pan.

    Add pre-cooked shredded meat into the pan with the stir-frying vegetables and mix them together.

    Tip: Since the meat is already pre-cooked, you only need to warm it through with the vegetables.
  7. 7Pour in Egg Mixture
    Beaten eggs being poured from a golden bowl into a frying pan filled with beef strips, onions, and red bell peppers.

    Pour the beaten egg mixture directly over the stir-fried meat and vegetables in the pan, ensuring it coats the ingredients evenly.

    Tip: Pour in a circular motion so the egg distributes evenly across the pan.
  8. 8Add cheese and melt
    Meltable cheese slices being placed on top of the egg and vegetable mixture in the frying pan.

    Add cheese pieces on top of the cooking egg and vegetable mixture, cover with a lid, and turn off the heat to let the cheese melt completely.

    Tip: Arrange the cheese evenly across the mixture so it melts uniformly over the eggs and beef.
  9. 9Slice the warmed burger bun
    A warm butter burger bun being carefully sliced open with golden kitchen shears.

    Take the steam-heated butter burger bun out of the pan and use a cutter or scissors to slice it open. The steaming process gives it an extremely rich butter aroma and a soft interior texture.

    Tip: Steam-heating the bun on low heat keeps it fluffy and enhances the buttery flavor before filling.
  10. 10Add fresh lettuce
    Fresh green lettuce leaves being placed inside an opened butter burger bun.

    Take fresh lettuce leaves and place them directly inside the opened halves of the butter burger bun to create a crisp green layer.

    Tip: Make sure the lettuce is dry so the bun stays light and does not get soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but butter burger buns have a higher fat content and specific texture that responds exceptionally well to steam-heating. If using regular buns, adding a tiny pat of butter to the pan can help mimic the rich flavor.
Cheddar, American cheese, or mozzarella slices work best because they melt quickly and create a creamy binder for the egg and meat filling.
No, the chili oil can be omitted or replaced with a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a non-spicy version while keeping the savory depth.
