I decided to try out egg buns for a burger. The buns are made from fresh mozzarella and an egg cooked in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes, then finished under the broiler for ~1.5 minutes and allowed to rest before slicing. Added to that is ground beef, more mozzarella, and bacon.

Lessons learned:
  • The egg bun wasn't bad at all. It tasted like... eggs. I wish it was thicker though. Maybe I'll use more egg next time for a thicker bun.
  • 1/4 lb of beef was perfect. It works like this, but I might switch to two 1/8 lb smash burgers next time for a little extra flavor from the char. I cooked the beef in the bacon fat BTW.
  • I think I'll switch the cheese up to top off the beef next time or at least mix the mozz with something else. I think a blue cheese crumble or American would work well with this. Either way, it could have used more. I used 2 ounces, I think.
  • I went with one slice of bacon cut in half. I should have used two.
  • Hot sauce on the bottom of the top bun for next time. Some type of sauce at least.
My main concern this time around was whether the bun would hold together so I could eat it like any burger. It did, so a successful experiment overall. I'll have to experiment with different types of meat overtime as well.

I think the 2 smash burger idea would work great like you said about the char. Could stick something in between them as well then.

Cooked in a cast iron skillet (like most of my meals). Gotta keep that seasoning game on point :)
