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.
- Chicken egg: 5 piece
2
Finely chop the onion and garlic, add them with mustard to the minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and knead well.
- Spring onion: 50 g
- Garlic: 3 cloves
- Mustard: 2 tablespoons

Prepare three bowls. In one, beat one egg and 4 tablespoons of water, in the second add flour, and in the third add breadcrumbs.
- Chicken egg: 5 piece
- Wheat flour: 200 g
- Breadcrumbs: 200 g
- 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.

Then coat the soft-boiled egg in flour on all sides, place it in the center of the meat patty, seal the edges carefully to avoid crushing the egg inside, and form a ball.
- Wheat flour: 200 g
- Chicken egg: 5 piece

Now coat the ball in flour, then dip it in egg and coat it in breadcrumbs. Do the same with the other patties.
- Wheat flour: 200 g

Fry the patties in heated oil for three minutes on each side, carefully flipping them.
