This burger recipe has been our favorite for years. I’ll tell you upfront, the secret ingredient is the cumin. It’s not a super-common ingredient for a hamburger but it’s not so off-the-wall that you’d taste it and think it’s weird, but just different enough to make you ask what it is.

This burger recipe is super easy: just mix the eggs and spices with the meat and grill how you like it. Whether or not you use a lettuce wrap, a bun, ketchup or spicy sriracha sauce is up to you! We like to grill ours on an outdoor griddle, but a regular grill, griddle pan in the oven or even an air fryer will still give you a great meal with this recipe. You can even cook these in a basic frying pan for great results.

We like to use grass-fed beef, and this kind is affordable and good. Whether its grass-fed or not, try to find beef with a higher fat content, as it makes the burger juicier and less likely to become dry. If all you have on hand is lean beef, try adding a couple tablespoons of avocado oil to this recipe and make sure to grease your pan or griddle for the best results.

When it comes to the bun, I love a brioche version with this. The sweetness goes perfectly with the spice from the cumin and just meshes well. I also like to do a lettuce wrap from time to time, and butter lettuce is my favorite for that.
