Farmhouse Burger FAQs
The questions that come up most: how to cook the patty, getting a runny yolk, what Dubliner cheese is, and whether you can skip the egg.
How do you cook the patty?
Season the formed patties just before cooking and sear over high heat for a browned crust, flipping once. Cook ground beef to a safe internal 160°F, per the USDA.
How do you get a runny yolk?
Fry the egg over medium heat just until the white is set but the yolk still jiggles, about 2 to 3 minutes, and add it last so it stays runny when you serve.
What is Dubliner cheese?
An aged Irish cow’s-milk cheese with a nutty, slightly sweet flavor, somewhere between a mature cheddar and a Parmesan. A sharp cheddar is the closest swap.
Can you make it without the egg?
Yes, though the runny yolk is the signature. Without it, add a little extra sauce or a slice of tomato so the burger does not turn dry.
