Beef patty with soft-boiled egg is a dish with a refined balance of flavors and textures. The crispy golden crust hides juicy meat that envelops a tender egg with a soft yolk. This recipe recalls traditional European meat dishes but gains special sophistication through an unexpected combination of ingredients. The flavor of the patty unfolds gradually: first, the aroma of spices and a slight sharpness of mustard are felt, then the meat juice mixes with the creamy yolk, creating a rich palette of sensations. The dish is perfect for a festive dinner or cozy family gathering, impressing with its original presentation. It is recommended to serve it with herbs or fresh vegetables to highlight its richness and add a touch of freshness.
1
Boil 4 eggs for two minutes, cool them down, and carefully peel.

2
Finely chop the onion and garlic, add them with mustard to the minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and knead well.
- Green onions: 50 g
- Garlic: 3 cloves

- Water: 4 tablespoons
4
Pour oil into a deep pan or a thick-bottomed steel pot and set it to heat. You can check if the oil is ready for frying by dipping a wooden spatula into it. If small bubbles rise from the tip of the spatula, the oil has reached the right temperature.
- Vegetable oil: 250 ml
5
Divide the minced meat into 4 parts.
- Ground beef: 500 g
6
Form a patty from the minced meat with your right hand. Use vinyl gloves to prevent the meat from sticking to your hand.

Now coat the ball in flour, then dip it in egg and coat it in breadcrumbs. Do the same with the other patties.
