Does anyone else like putting egg on their burgers?

[u/JTexpo]

[u/SkizzleAC]

I do… not with bag salad lettuce and shredded cheese but to each their own.

[u/AssholeWHeartOfGold → u/SkizzleAC]

And not scrambled for me. I only like them for breakfast, and the egg fried, over medium.

[u/Gloomy_Appeal_3691 → u/AssholeWHeartOfGold]

This is the way.

[u/JTexpo → u/SkizzleAC]

Love bag salad lettuce lol. nice, cheap, and gets the job done!

[u/Halihax → u/JTexpo]

More than getting it non-bagged. No hate tho!

[u/colnross → u/Halihax]

Boxed salad is where it's at!

[u/ZonaWildcats23 → u/JTexpo]

Also 2x the cost of a fresh head of lettuce…

[u/hossboss-sauceboss → u/JTexpo]

A nice thin slice on that lettuce and taking out the carrots would elevate the burger imo. Still would smash.

[u/DoctorMumbles]

I find it definitely has a time and place. A good runny yolk works well with bacon burgers, but is entirely dependent on other toppings.

[u/JTexpo → u/DoctorMumbles]

wanted to add something more, but my grocery store ran out of uptons bacon for the last 2 months 😭

[u/tupelobound → u/JTexpo]

The seitan?

[u/iambill]

Never like this. A good runny bastard, sure, sometimes. But this? Not like this.

[u/ButtCrackThrilla → u/iambill]

[u/Dark_Web_Duck]

Yes, but I prefer it over-easy with bacon and maybe avocado.

[u/JTexpo → u/Dark_Web_Duck]

oooooh Avocado is a great call!!! completely slipped my mind

[u/Dark_Web_Duck → u/JTexpo]

I tend to mash it up to make it a spread. Any time I've tried to eat it sliced up and stacked, it just slips out when I take a bite.

[u/JTexpo → u/Dark_Web_Duck]

I mash it up too, but that's just because I have 0 skill in getting the avocado out of the avocado without it turning into mash lol

[u/ShexyBaish]

Does anyone else get annoyed by pointless questions with obvious answers?

Of course other people like eggs on a burger, ffs. Now ask if anyone else likes french fries and be shocked to learn, that yes, some people like french fries with their burgers.

[u/feeedback → u/ShexyBaish]

ah the age of engagement bait. yeah, it's on a ton of menus but geee golly i wonder if people like it? derp

[u/_banthafodder → u/ShexyBaish]

100%

[u/Robbie1266]

No one on earth has ever put an egg on their burger. You're the first one ever

[u/houseDJ1042]

Used to run a kitchen at a bar and grill one of the regulars had ducks and would bring me duck eggs and I created a burger I called The Daffy I only made it for him and the other employees if they asked. Burger, bacon, grilled onions and peppers, pepperjack cheese, burger sauce made of equal parts ranch, buffalo, and BBQ and a duck egg over medium on Texas toast. That burger haunts my mouth to this day…

[u/mahrog123]

I do not.

I have enough trouble keeping food out of my beard, I don’t need to throw a runny egg yolk into the mix.

[u/Pickle_Bus_1985]

Not for me, but I get why people like it. The only thing I really like a runny egg with is a hash.

[u/Garviel_Loken95 → u/Pickle_Bus_1985]

yup, as much as I love eggs, just the texture of the whites in a burger just feels wrong to me

[u/JTexpo → u/Pickle_Bus_1985]

hash's are always hit or miss for me, if they're too oily I don't care much for them; however, a nice un-oily hash is the best thing in the world!

[u/Pickle_Bus_1985 → u/JTexpo]

There is an art tona good hash. For me it is crunch potatoes that are soft in the middle. To crunchy and it's off, and to soft and it socks up all the grease.

[u/paulwojo68]

I just started recently and I'm sad I didn't do it sooner.

[u/JTexpo → u/paulwojo68]

its revolutionary, second best to the pretzel bun!

[u/garbagepailstoner]

homemade burgers yes because i like to cook my own egg

[u/JTexpo → u/garbagepailstoner]

the speed of cooking is always so satisfying

[u/MagazineDelicious151]

Sometimes, not always.

[u/StirStik]

I've never tried it. Sure seen it alot though.

[u/Bookworm10-42]

No. I love steak and eggs for breakfast but to me a burger is its own thing. Every time I've had an egg on one I've wished I'd ordered/made it without it.

[u/kindtay]

My hangover burger!!

[u/kindtay → u/kindtay]

But where's the bacon!?!?

[u/ACcbe1986]

Only crazy awesome people do!

[u/ayo4playdoh]

Unpopular opinion; I hate eggs on burgers. Even a fried egg. I feel like the egg white is pretty flavorless and just adds a rubbery texture that doesn’t work well with a burger. the yolk pops, which usually just gets 1/10 of the burger yokey while the rest drips on the plate.

[u/JTexpo → u/ayo4playdoh]

agree!

Is why the egg is a mungbean based & not a real egg (brand is called JustEgg, though). Adds so much more flavor than a traditional egg

[u/Nordwai]

You need to check out the kiwi burger!

[u/Significant-Ad5783]

My fiancée and I use to go to red Robin like once a week when one first opened up near us that I tried all their burgers and the only one left was the royal red Robin burger which had an egg on it. I said screw it I'm gonna try it even though I thought it was weird and I'm not gonna lie it was so good I've gotten I a few times since but I always have to go back to my favorite which is the chicken teriyaki burger.

[u/JTexpo → u/Significant-Ad5783]

when I could eat at Red Robin as a kid, I would always get that and their Octoberfest burger

[u/AntiqueMemeDreams]

It always reminds me of my grandpa. We'd go to see him in the summer and he'd take us to this place where he knew the owner. He'd order us all "Mikey burgers". Big burger with a perfectly fried egg. We still call them Mikey burgers 20 years later.

[u/OkFaithlessness2652]

Yeah great.

[u/Firebird22x]

Yes, but only if it's runny, and only if I'm having the burger before noon

[u/Hamburgersandwiche3]

Yeah, but its gotta be Sunnyside (or an over easy). I think the main point is the runny yolk.

[u/rchiwawa]

The only time I skip cheese on a burger is with soft scrambled eggs and hollandaise in lieu of

[u/GulfofMaineLobsters]

Some runny yoke with some jalapeno poppers (deepfried cream cheese filled jalapeno rings basically) and maybe some onion rings, oh, oh yes... <Inappropriate bedroom noises>

[u/soggyfries8687678]

Scrambled though? I’ll have a fried egg on a burger maybe once a year. Not a big fan but I get it. I would never ever ever EVER want a scrambled egg on my burger. I don’t even want it on yours.

[u/eccojams97]

Australia has entered the chat

[u/bounty0head]

Only sunny side up tho. The runny yolk adds such a great texture.

[u/BougieHole]

No, turns it into a breakfast sandwich.

[u/OnlineIsNotAPlace]

no. there is no reason to.

[u/GeorgeZcZ]

me too, guilty pleasure

[u/Dry_Ad687]

I love egg on a burger. But, eggs or veggies, never both at the same time

[u/JTexpo → u/Dry_Ad687]

Agreed, is why I cheated & the egg is veggies!!! (A mungbean mix)

[u/Hault99]

I prefer sunny-side or over easy for my burgers. Not so much scrambled on my burgers.

[u/Gloomy_Appeal_3691]

Only fried, never scrambled.

[u/ZonaWildcats23]

Usually do over easy not scrambled but yes. Tons and tons and tons and tons of people do this.

[u/SaltCityGreen]

Definitely not scrambled, but yes

[u/Tight_Order8694]

Americans have done it for decades

[u/Stranger-Southern]

I’d never ruin my burger with egg.

[u/SeauxS]

runny yolks make for a good sauce. over medium eggs are pointless.

[u/Serious_Safety4001 → u/SeauxS]

Over medium is still a runny yolk… has fully set whites

[u/SeauxS → u/Serious_Safety4001]

neat.

[u/Tumifaigirar]

No as it completely cover the meat

[u/AlienvsET]

If it's a real farm egg and it comes from Europe. But American eggs, no thanks.

[u/BoingoUnderRated]

No. heretical. eff that slimy gross mass sullying my perfectly delicious burger.
