Why didn’t I ever think of putting an over-easy egg on top of a black bean burger before? Let me tell you… the ooey gooey yolk makes a fantastic sauce.
And coating the burger with panko crumbs to create a crispy, non-stick surface? Genius.
Wish I had the brain-spark to come up with these awesome ideas… but no, we have Cooking Light to thank for that. Thank you, Cooking Light, for your simple yet mind-blowing food idea.
So enjoy this {only slightly} adjusted recipe. You won’t be sorry.

Author: Cooking Light Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 18 mins Total time: 28 mins Serves: 4
Crispy, delicious black bean burgers with an over easy egg on top.
Ingredients
3 Tbsp olive oil
5 eggs
1 can (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup panko
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
¾ tsp cumin
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
Place 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 egg, and black beans in a food processor and pulse until chopped into a coarse paste, about 20 pulses.
In a bowl, combine bean mixture with 5 Tbsp panko, garlic, and spices.
Form into 4 patties.
Place 3 Tbsp panko into a shallow dish and dredge the patties in the panko.
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet, then add the burgers, cooking 3 minutes on each side.
Remove patties from skillet and place on a plate - keep warm.
Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining olive oil, then crack the 4 eggs into the pan.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover with a lid, and cook for 4 minutes (5 if you want firmer yolks).
Plate the burgers, each with one egg on top. Enjoy with some veggies!
