Egg in hamburger patty?
I was shocked at what I saw last night. I was watching Gordon Ramsay's
Kitchen Nightmares and he concocted a new burger for a restaurant that contained egg yolks, mustard, onion, Worcestershire (sp?) sauce and maybe a few other things. I certainly hope they declared on the menu that it was a secret recipe or some such thing. A plain hamburger patty has been my restaurant staple since being diagnosed with the food allergies. Has anyone heard of putting egg in there before? I've heard of onions and even cheese, but not the other stuff. The only thing I personally have put in a burger is an ice cube in the center. I read to do this when I was a child and I used to make them that way. I'm sure these days there is some sort of food safety thing that prevents one from doing it. And I'm not sure it really made them any juicier. These days if I do cook a patty at home (maybe twice a year), I buy the pre-made frozen ones. |

I've made "burgers" like that, but they were more like mini-meatloaves than hamburgers. PP |

Julie, my family has always put egg into a certain kind of hamburger patty. They are like mini-meat loaves. Here's the recipe. 1 lb hamburger meat 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1 egg 1/2 cup chopped raw onion Salt and Pepper 1/4 cup milk 1tbsp fresh chopped parsley (if you have it on hand) Mix it all well together with your hands, make it into patties and fry till well done. That said, I think that if you order a hamburger in a restaurant it has to be all meat unless they specify it is some special recipe or something. What you should ALWAYS do is ask for a burger that contains no other additives to be sure they don't give you something you are allergic to. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind.

In the UK, unless you're eating at a fast-food restaurant, you can pretty well assume it's got something other than meat in it; too boring otherwise. If you get too creative, you need egg or similar binder in to hold it all together... Nicky. T2 dx 05/04 + underactive thyroid D&E, 100ug thyroxine Last A1c 5.4% BMI 25 |

I have always used egg as a binder in meatballs and meat loaf, not hamburgers though. I seriously doubt that most restaurants would put egg in a burger patty. |

An egg is a standard part of my wife's meatball mix which we cook in several ways including as patties.

I am surprised you would even say that to me! As a person with food allergies, I have to read EVERY label, every time before I buy something, let alone eat it. The only additive I have EVER seen in a frozen hamburger patty is soybean oil, or perhaps some sort of fancy cheese. Costco sells some cheese filled burgers. Not sure if they are fresh or frozen. Since I can't have cheese, they were of no interest to me. |

Julie, it was a reasonable suggestion many 'patties' vary in content from each other good luck on your hamburger adventure -- kate type 1 since 1987 www.diabetic-chat.org www.diabetic-talk.org http://www.diabetes-support.org.uk/n...diagnosed.html |
