Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Deviled Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Cool eggs under cold running water or in an ice bath.
Peel the eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and remove yolks.
In a bowl, mash yolks with mayo, mustard, relish, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
Sprinkle with a bit more paprika and set aside.
2. Prepare the Mini Beef Patties
In a bowl, mix together:
- Ground beef
- Garlic & onion powder
- Smoked paprika
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper
Form into 6–8 mini patties, about the size of a deviled egg half.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.
3. Assemble the Deviled Egg Burgers
Take one deviled egg half and place a beef patty on top.
Add any toppings you like: cheese square, pickle slice, bacon bits, or greens.
Top with another deviled egg half to complete the “burger.”
Secure each mini burger with a toothpick.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately while the patties are warm, or chill for a cold version (still delicious).
Perfect for appetizer trays, brunch boards, or protein-packed meal prep.
