Instructions
- Dice the onion and tomato finely, peeling the tomato if possible.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion for 4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and let it brown, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato, season with salt and pepper, then simmer for 3 minutes until the filling is juicy but not runny.
- In a small oiled skillet, fry the egg sunny side up over low heat, keeping the yolk runny.
- Open the rolls, warm them for 2 minutes in a 180 °C oven, then fill them with the meat.
- Place the fried egg on the meat, add mayonnaise if you like, and close the roll.
- Serve right away, piping hot.
Variations and tips
Cheese version. Add a few slices of melting cheese on the warm meat so it melts.
Using what's easy to find. Replace Chilean rolls with store-bought milk buns or short baguettes.
