Instructions
Burger Patties
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined, then shape 4 patties with your hands. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cooking the Components
Cook all the components on the BBQ, in separate pans on the stove, or in one pan, one after the other.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and butter in a pan. Add the sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
In the same pan, cook the burger patties on both sides until done to your liking. Place the cheese slices on top and allow them to melt. Remove the burgers and cover loosely with aluminium foil to keep warm.
Add the pineapple slices and bacon rashers to the hot pan and fry until golden brown. Set aside.
Fry the eggs until the yolks are just set. Lightly toast the burger buns.
Assembling the Burgers
Place shredded lettuce on the base of each bun, followed by a slice of tomato, some beetroot, the burger with melted cheese, fried onions, 1 bacon rasher, and 1 pineapple ring. Finish with a fried egg.
Spread ketchup on the top half of the bun, close the burger, and serve with hot chips or fries.
