You can easily make hamburgers at home and it's a healthy and filling meal. This recipe, as with any hamburger recipe, is best when you have access to a barbecue or a grill, but you can use a frying or grill pan on a cook-top.

Ingredients

• 4 beef patties - either from the supermarket, or make you own with 800g ground beef mixed with some fresh garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, and parsley. A bit of Worcestershire sauce is recommended, and a bit of salt and pepper.
• 4 eggs
• 4 slices  cheese (optional)
• 4 hamburger buns, or bread rolls
• 1 large tomato - sliced thinly
• 1 can sliced beetroot
• 4 lettuce leaves
• Tomato or other tasty sauce
• You can also add cucumber or pickled vegetables if you like

Method

1. Cook the beef patties on medium to high heat and cook 5-7 mins each side until browned. Avoid 'stewing' the patties by removing any liquid that comes out.
2. Crack the four eggs into a large pan, pierce the yolks and cook on low heat with a lid for 5-7 mins.
3. Serve the patties with all of the other ingredients.
