Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Minced Meat Patties:

300 g minced meat (beef, lamb, or your preference)
2 g salt
2 g paprika powder
2 g garlic powder
1.5 g black pepper

For Assembling the Sandwich:

Slices of bread (for each sandwich: 2 slices)
Butter (for toasting)
Cheddar cheese slices
Mozzarella, shredded
Eggs (beaten, 1 per sandwich edge)

Directions

Place the minced meat, salt, paprika powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until evenly seasoned.
Shape the mixture into burger patties of appropriate size for your bread slices. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until cooked through on both sides.
Cut out the center part from one slice of bread, creating a hole in the middle while preserving the crust.
Beat an egg in a small bowl. Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the bun edges into the buttered pan. Pour half of the beaten egg into the hole area of the bread.
Add a cheddar cheese slice on top of the egg. Place the cooked burger patty above the cheese, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the patty.
Top with the center piece of the bread to close the sandwich. Press down gently.
Cook until the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side until equally golden and the cheeses have melted.

Makes 1 sandwich (adjust quantities for additional servings)
Prep time: ~5 minutes (season and form patty)
Cooking time: ~8–10 minutes (burger and sandwich assembly)
Total time: ~10–15 minutes

Variations

Bread choice: Use thick slices, brioche, or burger buns instead of regular sandwich bread.
Cheese swap: Try Swiss, Gouda, pepper jack, or provolone for different flavors.
Sauce addition: Add mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, or hot sauce inside before closing the sandwich.
Protein variation: Use chicken, turkey, or veggie patties instead of ground meat.
Toppings: Add lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, or caramelized onions for extra texture and freshness.

Storage/Reheating

Best served immediately for crisp bread and melted cheese.
Leftovers: If made in advance, store wrapped in foil at room temperature for a short period, or refrigerate and gently reheat in a pan or grill to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

How Do I Ensure The Patty Is Juicy?

Don’t overmix the meat and avoid pressing it too thinly. Cook over medium heat until just done—juices should remain inside.

Can I Use Pre-Made Burgers?

Yes—simply cook them as instructed and follow the same process for assembling the sandwich.

What Can I Use If I Don’t Have Cheddar?

Use any melting cheese you have, such as mozzarella, Gouda, or fontina. Cheddar adds strong flavor but isn’t essential.

How Do I Keep The Bread From Getting Soggy?

Toast each side thoroughly in butter before adding fillings. Work quickly and serve while still warm.

Can I Make The Sandwich Vegetarian?

Absolutely—use plant-based patties or a thick grilled vegetable patty instead of minced meat.

How Should I Flip The Sandwich Without It Falling Apart?

Use a spatula to press and lift the sandwich, flipping gently. Press the sandwich down a bit after flipping to ensure cheese melts throughout.

Can I Prepare Components In Advance?

You can prepare the patties ahead and refrigerate. Toast and assemble the sandwich just before eating.

Is This Sandwich Suitable For Kids?

Yes—season lightly and omit any spices you think may be too strong for young palates.

Can I Add Additional Egg Inside The Sandwich?

Yes—add another beaten egg layer before closing the sandwich for extra richness.

What Can I Serve With This Sandwich?

Pair with salad, fries, chips, or pickles—it’s versatile and pairs well with almost anything.

Conclusion

This burger sandwich is a deliciously easy meal that combines seasoned meat, melted cheese, eggy toast edges, and crispy bread into one satisfying handheld bite. Quick to prepare and endlessly adaptable, it’s ideal for a fast lunch or snack that never disappoints.
