Instructions

  1. Dice the onion and tomato finely, peeling the tomato if possible.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion for 4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef and let it brown, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, about 6 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato, season with salt and pepper, then simmer for 3 minutes until the filling is juicy but not runny.
  5. In a small oiled skillet, fry the egg sunny side up over low heat, keeping the yolk runny.
  6. Open the rolls, warm them for 2 minutes in a 180 °C oven, then fill them with the meat.
  7. Place the fried egg on the meat, add mayonnaise if you like, and close the roll.
  8. 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.
