Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Crack the eggs
    Hands cracking a raw egg into a stainless steel bowl with an egg yolk already inside.

    Crack the pasteurized eggs into a stainless steel mixing bowl. This forms the base for your rich and silky soft-scrambled eggs.

    Tip: Using pasteurized eggs is highly recommended since they will only be cooked until about 70% solid.
  2. 2Add milk and cream
    Milk being poured from a blue carton into a stainless steel bowl containing raw egg yolks and egg whites.

    Pour 10 grams of pure milk and 8 grams of light cream into the bowl with the eggs. Season the mixture with 0.5 grams of salt and 0.2 grams of white pepper powder.

    Tip: Adding a small amount of dairy like milk and cream increases the fat content, making the final scrambled eggs incredibly rich, tender, and silky.
  3. 3Whisk the mixture
    A hand using a wire whisk to rapidly beat the egg and milk mixture in a metal bowl.

    Use a wire whisk or egg beater to thoroughly mix the eggs, milk, cream, and seasonings. Continue whisking vigorously until the liquid is completely smooth and free of any lumps.

    Tip: Whisking well ensures that the yolks and whites are fully homogenized, which is the key to an even color and a uniform, velvety texture.
  4. 4Pour into the pan
    Smooth, bright yellow egg mixture being poured from a stainless steel bowl into a small hot frying pan coated with melted butter.

    Melt a small amount of butter in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling slightly, pour the smooth egg mixture directly into the center of the pan.

    Tip: Butter not only prevents sticking but also complements the cream in the eggs to enhance the rich, savory flavor.
  5. 5Cook the soft scramble
    A hand wearing a black glove using a spatula to gently fold and stir soft, partially cooked scrambled eggs in a small pan.

    As the edges begin to set, use a spatula to gently push and fold the eggs toward the center. Stir gently about once every 7 seconds, pulling the pan off the heat once the eggs are 70% solid but still glossy and wet.

    Tip: Residual heat will continue to cook the eggs even after you stop stirring. Removing them early is crucial for maintaining that silky, thick texture.
  6. 6Smash the beef patty
    A heavy golden flat press pushing firmly down onto a portion of raw ground beef on a hot greased grill.

    Place a portion of ground beef onto a hot, oiled grill or griddle. Immediately press down firmly with a heavy, flat meat press to flatten the patty. Season the meat generously with salt and black pepper.

    Tip: Pressing the meat flat maximizes contact with the hot surface, creating a delicious, crispy caramelized crust while locking in the juices.
  7. 7Season the cooking patty
    A raw beef patty cooking on a flat grill, seasoned with salt and black pepper.

    While the smashed beef patty sears and develops a caramelized crust, sprinkle the top evenly with salt and ground black pepper. Cooking the patty properly ensures a charred aroma while keeping the meat juices bursting.

    Tip: Allow the patty to sear undisturbed for a couple of minutes to develop a proper crust before flipping.
  8. 8Add the cheese
    A gloved hand placing a square slice of yellow cheese onto a cooked beef patty on a grill.

    Once the beef patty is fully cooked and nicely browned on both sides, immediately place a square slice of yellow cheese over the hot meat. The residual heat from the patty will soften and perfectly melt the cheese.

    Tip: Add the cheese right at the end of the cooking process so it melts evenly without burning on the grill.
  9. 9Sauce the buns
    Orange burger sauce being squeezed from a bottle onto toasted bun halves on a wire rack.

    Take the freshly toasted burger buns and squeeze a generous layer of orange burger sauce onto them. This sour, spicy, and refreshing sauce beautifully cuts through the richness of the meat and eggs.

    Tip: Spread the sauce in a zig-zag or swirling motion to ensure even coverage across the bun.
  10. 10Add the soft scrambled eggs
    A chef using a spoon to place a large portion of soft scrambled eggs onto cheeseburgers.

    Stack the seasoned beef patty and melted cheese onto the dressed buns, then carefully scoop a large, heavy mound of the silky soft-scrambled eggs directly on top. The overwhelming egg aroma is the signature of this burger.

    Tip: Handle the softly cooked eggs gently with a spoon or spatula to maintain their tender, fluffy texture.
  11. 11Drizzle the final sauce
    Orange burger sauce being squeezed over a tall pile of scrambled eggs on an assembled burger.

    Finish the assembly by drizzling another generous amount of the sour and spicy burger sauce right over the warm scrambled eggs. Cap it with the top bun and serve immediately while hot and juicy.

    Tip: Dont skimp on the top layer of sauce; it ties the flavors of the thick egg and rich beef patty together perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since the eggs are cooked to only 70% doneness to maintain a silky, soft-scrambled texture, using pasteurized eggs eliminates the risk of foodborne illness while safely allowing for that luxurious runny consistency.
Cook over medium-low heat and remove the pan from the stove just before the eggs look completely done. The residual heat from the pan and the hot beef patty will perfectly finish the cooking process.
While you can, smashing a fresh ball of ground meat directly on the hot griddle creates a superior, crispy caramelized crust that contrasts beautifully with the soft eggs.
