Somewhat controversially, an egg.
Like, a good, over medium egg? Okay I can do that. I hate a super runny, the yolk blasts you in the face like an unapologetic lover and leaves you to clean yourself up, egg in my burger.
In fact, anything that's made with your Instagram reel in mind. I don't want greasy buns, dripping yolks, and sauces pouring out. If you made a good, juicy burger you wouldn't need all that.
Oh man, do we have different tastes in burgers. Give me that dribbling barbecue, that A1 sauce, that honey mustard, that sunny side up egg, that rare and juicy burger, them pickles.
I want a messy burger, one I gotta wash my hands off after.
I have never had a burger with a fried egg that really added anything to the equation. Anything the egg can do, the meat does better. It's just filler with very little flavor or texture.
And that one time the chef made an amazing egg, it overpowered the burger and the entire equation flipped. Now there was no reason to include the hamburger patty.
I love an egg on a burger, but I philosophically agree with your line of thinking.
