Hamburguesa Royal
This recipe guides you through recreating the iconic Peruvian Hamburguesa Royal from Bembos. Expect a juicy burger with melty cheese, a fried egg, and classic toppings.
Ingredients
- 4 soft hamburger buns
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Other seasonings to taste optional, consider garlic powder, onion powder
- 4 slices Edam cheese or a similar mild, melty cheese
- 4 eggs
- Lettuce washed and shredded
- 1 large tomato sliced
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prep work: Shred the lettuce and slice the tomato.
- Season the beef: Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like.
- Cook the patties: Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese to melt.
- Fry the eggs: While the patties are cooking, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference. Be careful not to overcook the yolks – a little runny is ideal.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the hamburger buns.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, the cooked patty with melted cheese, a fried egg, and a touch of ketchup. Crown your creation with the top bun and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Customize the burger with your favorite toppings and sauces.
- If you don't like runny yolks, cook the eggs a little longer.
