Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp Weber® Gourmet Burger™ Seasoning
- 4 slices Texas toast
- ½ cup melted butter, divided
- Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato

Juicy burgers seasoned with Weber® Gourmet Burger™ Seasoning, served on buttery Texas toast and topped with fresh veggies, grilled eggs, and a drizzle of rich blue cheese dressing—all made entirely on the grill.
Directions
- Prepare grill: Preheat grill to medium heat 350°F–400°F with a grill pan over direct heat. Brush grill grates clean.
- Prepare burgers: Mix ground beef with 1 ½ tbsp Weber® Gourmet Burger™ Seasoning in a medium bowl. Form into 4 patties and set aside.
- Toast Texas toast: Brush both sides of each Texas toast slice with melted butter.
- Place slices directly on the grill grates and toast over direct heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to serving plates.
- Grill burgers: Place burger patties on the grill over direct heat.
- Grill with the lid closed as much as possible, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Set aside cooked burgers.
- Cook eggs: Place the grill pan on the grill over direct heat. Add 2 tbsp of the remaining butter to the pan and let it melt.
- Crack eggs into the grill pan and sprinkle lightly with the remaining 1 ½ tsp Weber® Gourmet Burger™ Seasoning.
- Cook until the whites are set, breaking the yolks if desired. Flip eggs gently using a grill-safe spatula and cook until firm, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from grill.
- Assemble open-faced burgers: Layer Texas toast with lettuce, tomato, onion, burger, egg, and a drizzle of blue cheese dressing.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- For an added gourmet touch, grill the tomato and onion slices briefly to enhance their flavor and add a smoky caramelized finish.
