Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the dredging stations: In one small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Place flour and crushed cornflakes into two separate shallow dishes. (5 minutes)

02

Step

10 mins

In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, diced onion, salt, pepper, and the remaining 1 beaten egg. Divide the mixture into 3 equal portions and form them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. (10 minutes)

03

Step

15 mins

Dredge each patty in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured patty into the beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Press both sides of the patty firmly into the crushed cornflakes, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated patty on a clean plate and repeat with the remaining patties. (15 minutes)

04

Step

10 mins

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the cornflake-crusted burgers in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cook for approximately 5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip the burgers and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through to your desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature should reach at least 160°F (71°C). (10 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the burgers from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the ground beef mixture.
If you like a really crispy coating, double dredge the patties: flour, egg, then cornflakes, then egg and finally cornflakes again.
Serve these burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, and your choice of condiments.
For a healthier option, try baking the coated patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Leftover cooked burgers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven until warmed through.
