Loaded Butter Burger
Egg, Beef, and Melted Cheese
A decadent butter burger packed with fluffy chili oil eggs, savory beef strips, sautéed peppers, onions, and melted cheese inside a rich butter-steamed bun.
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
- 1 butter burger bun
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp chili oil
- 1/4 red onion
- 1/4 red bell pepper
- 100 g pre-cooked shredded beef
- 1 slice melting cheese
- 2 leaves fresh lettuce
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- to taste black pepper
- to taste sea salt
Instructions
- 1Steam-heat the butter burger bun

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. - 2Crack eggs and add 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. - 3Whisk the egg mixture

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. - 4Prepare the pan with oil

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. - 5Stir-fry and season vegetables

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. - 6Add pre-cooked meat

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. - 7Pour in Egg Mixture

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. - 8Add cheese and melt

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. - 9Slice the warmed burger bun

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. - 10Add fresh lettuce

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.
