We're divided here. Bacon in a burger, definately good, no question (please, no bacon-related posts here). But Egg? I think it is - bacon and egg together, definately a good combo even in a burger. But the yolk should be hard in a burger, not runny like in a fried egg sandwich. Your thoughts, community?

An egg on a burger is actually very good, although it sounds strange. I've had those a few times. I tried my first one at a small burger shack that was located in front of a fire station in Los Angeles, and it was awesome. It was the house speciality. Just make sure that the yolk is fully cooked and not runny.

Health considerations aside, I guess it wouldn't be bad.
Here's an idea -- I've made this before.
Hard-boil half a dozen eggs. Peel and set aside.
ALso, have on hand a package of precooked bacon.
Make a large meatloaf mix using your standard recipe.
Oh, okay -- here's the recipe:
1-1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup chopped onion
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 tablespoon (yes, tablespoon) Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Mix all that up and, for this recipe:
Pat 1/2 of mixture into bottom of loaf pan. Press whole peeled (of course! LOL) hard-boiled eggs into mixture lengthwise, end to end (You may need fewer than six, but it never hurts to add more). Top with rest of meatloaf mix.
Top with bacon strips.
Slather ketchup all over the top or not, depending on how you like your meatloaf. Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour, or until firm and juices run clear. Slice. The eggs will be in slices in the center of each meatloaf slice.
I know. It sounds weird. But my husband is a major fan of this recipe.
I just don't feed it to him too often, because I imagine the cholesterol is killer. Thus the oatmeal. Ya can't even taste it, honest, and it adds texture and firmness.

From your heart's POV, hell no! From your tastebuds' POV however, HELL YEAH BABY! I generally find myself always ordering either bacon or an egg and if possible, definitely both in a burger these days. A burger without just tastes so bland to me now. I guess these are the standards one accustoms himself to. For me, the egg has got to be runny. The sloppier the burger, the better (providing there's a tap nearby for when I'm done). Hard yolk is tasteless and just plain disappointing. Mmm, I'm hungry now, think I'll go make myself a burger...

Red Robin restaurant has a burger that is served with a fried egg on it. It makes my heart physically ache thinking of all the fat and cholesterol in it. My friend's little sister orders it all the time and she loves it! Personally, I think that the less on a burger, the better! I am all for a few onion rings or bacon, but, a fried egg should be left for breakfast dishes.

Why not scramble the egg? Then the yolk is a non-issue. Those breakfast sandwiches are basically eggs and bacon on a "burger" (OK, the burger is really pork with special seasons, but hey...)

I'm not so keen. Best addition to any burger is definitely blue cheese. We do a recipe for home made bugers.
Low fat lean beef mince
Spring onions
Red chillis (seeds removed)
Mix the ingredients together to form your patties.
Put one burger each on top a large flat field mushroom and bake in the oven until cooked. The juices will have trickled down through the mushroom and left it really moist and lovely. Mmm.
Finally crumble some blue cheese on top and whack back in the oven to melt the cheese a bit.
Serve with some parsnip chips and a big crispy green salad.
Hmmm think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

In New Zealand (the burger capital of the world!) its done all the time, simply called the egg burger. very delicious but messy so hard after a friday night.
If you live in london the Gourmet Burger Kitchen does one, also it does a kiwi burger which has egg, beetroot and pineapple. you need a knife and fork to eat it though!!

used to have a burger with a hard cooked fried egg years ago in New England while in the Navy. Didn't take the idea home with me and haven't missed it. I saw a Pizza in Paris with a soft egg sitting in the middle. Strange.

In Argentina, a very typical meal is steak with a fried egg on top (as well as peppers in a tomato sauce). It was really disgusting, so I don't think an egg on a burger would fare any better.

An egg in a butty or a burger should be medium soft. Not hard, not runny, just soft and slightly wobbley so that you can feel that sticky consistency on the roof of your mouth as your tongue tackles the juicy meaty taste.
Yummy scrummy !!!!!
