Beef Patties and Eggs: A Hearty Breakfast to Kickstart Your Day

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme (if using), and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
Mix the ingredients until well combined, but avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cook the Beef Patties:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the patties are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium-well, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Cook the Eggs:

In the same skillet (you can remove excess fat if needed), add the butter or oil and heat over medium.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
Fry the eggs sunny side up or cook them to your preference (e.g., scrambled, over easy). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the Dish:

Place one beef patty on each plate and top with an egg.
You can also serve the patties and eggs with a side of toast, avocado, or sautéed vegetables for extra flavor.
Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the beef patties and eggs immediately while hot. This hearty breakfast is perfect for a satisfying start to your day.
