Omelette Burger

 

I love Ramly burgers, but I don’t have the patience to make my own patty to approximate an authentic Ramly patty. There is only one restaurant in Chicago that has Ramly Burger on the menu, but getting it delivered would cost twice as much after fees and tips, so this is my take using many of the same condiments and toppings. It’s messy but so good.

• 1 1/3-lb beef burger patty
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• salt and white pepper to taste
• 1 tblsp butter
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 2 eggs, beaten with salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp black pepper sauce
• whole lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato slice
• thin cucumber slices
• 1 tsp mayo
• 1 tsp sweet chili sauce
• 1 soft white bap, halved, toasted, and buttered

1. Mix Worcestershire sauce with salt and white pepper and lightly brush on both sides of the patty.
2. Melt butter in a heavy pan over medium heat. Sear both sides of the patty and fry for 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towel.
3. Add vegetable oil to the pan.
4. Pour the seasoned beaten egg into the oiled pan. Return the party to the pan immediately before the egg sets. Wrap the patty in the beaten egg like a parcel.
5. Assemble the burger in this order and secure with a skewer:

• Bottom half of toasted and buttered bap
• Black pepper sauce
• Lettuce
• Tomato
• Cucumber
• Wrapped patty
• Mayo
• Sweet chili sauce
• Top half of toasted and buttered bap
