Cookbook:Crispy Breaded Burgers

This idea is revolutionary. I mean, who would ever think about making a burger that was crispy and breaded, right?

Ingredients

 * 1 pound ground beef chuck
 * Olive oil
 * Salt
 * Freshly ground black pepper
 * 3 eggs, beaten
 * Panko breadcrumbs
 * 4 hamburger buns, split in half and toasted
 * Mayonnaise

Procedure

 * 1) Form chuck into 4-ounce patties, about ¾ inch thick, with a slight depression in the middle. Season on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
 * 2) Dip burgers into beaten egg. Dredge in panko breadcrumbs and set aside.
 * 3) Heat a griddle over medium high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add enough olive oil to generously coat the pan, and add patties. Cook 3 minutes per side for medium rare, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 minutes per side for well done.
 * 4) Spread cut side of buns with mayo. Add a patty on top of the bottom half of a bun, then top with top half. Serve warm.
