10 minutes to prep, 15 to cook. A hearty, high‑protein breakfast that transforms a classic burger into a morning delight.

Method

  1. Preheat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat.

  2. Lightly spray the skillet with avocado oil and add the cut potatoes, spreading them in a single layer.

  3. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs, then cook for 8‑10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy; set aside and keep warm.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Potatoes are golden and crisp before being set aside. Turn them occasionally for even colour.

  4. In the same skillet, add a little more avocado oil spray and crumble the lean beef mince, shaping it into a patty; season with salt and pepper.

  5. Cook the beef patty for about 3‑4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through; remove and keep warm.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Patty is browned and cooked through. Keep it intact while turning in the skillet.

  6. Add the diced tomato, butter beans, and a splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan; sauté for 2‑3 minutes until the tomato softens.

  7. Stir in the spinach and cook for another 1‑2 minutes until wilted; season with additional seasoning if desired.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Spinach has wilted into the tomato and bean mixture. Stir just until the leaves soften.

  8. Meanwhile, place the eggs in a steamer basket over simmering water, cover, and steam for 6‑7 minutes for soft‑set yolks.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Eggs are soft-set after steaming. Keep the steamer covered while they cook.

  9. To assemble, place the crispy potatoes on a plate, top with the beef patty, then spoon the tomato‑bean‑spinach mixture over the patty.

  10. Slice the steamed eggs in half and place them on top of the burger, allowing the yolk to mingle with the other flavors.

  11. Finish with an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of fresh pepper, then serve immediately.

Tips while you cook

Keep potatoes warm
After cooking the potatoes, set them aside and keep warm while you finish the other components.
Use the same skillet
Cook the beef patty in the same skillet used for the potatoes to retain flavor and reduce cleanup.
Steam eggs gently
Place the eggs in a steamer basket over simmering water, cover, and steam for 6‑7 minutes for soft‑set yolks.
