Patties

  • Completed step 1 pound ground chuck (80% lean)
  • Completed step 8 ounces bulk hot Italian sausage
  • Completed step 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • Completed step 2 garlic cloves, minced or pushed through a press
  • Completed step Kosher salt
  • Completed step Freshly ground black pepper

Chimichurri

  • Completed step 1½ cups firmly packed fresh Italian parsley leaves and tender stems
  • Completed step 4 garlic cloves, each quartered
  • Completed step 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • Completed step ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Completed step ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Completed step 4 slices French or Italian bread, each about ½ inch thick
  • Completed step 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Completed step 4 large eggs
  • Completed step 3 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Mix the patty ingredients, including ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and then gently form four patties of equal size, each about 1 inch thick. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about 1 inch wide in the center of the patties to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook. Refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
  • In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, finely chop the parsley, garlic, and oregano. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the oil, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400° to 500°F).
  • Lightly season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper and brush the bread slices on both sides with oil. Grill the patties over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to medium doneness (160°F), 9 to 11 minutes, turning once. Halfway into grilling time, place a cast-iron skillet on the cooking grates or on a side burner set to medium-high to preheat. Remove the patties from the grill.
  • Add the butter to the skillet. Fry the eggs sunny-side up, with the lid open, until the whites are crisp and lacy on the edges and the yolks are partially runny, 4 to 6 minutes. Toast the bread on the cooking grates over direct heat, about 1 minute, turning once.
  • Add the vinegar to the chimichurri. Mix well.
  • Top each bread slice with a patty, a fried egg, and chimichurri. Serve immediately.
