The Only Market Burger

• 1 quart vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• 2 green tomatoes, ends removed and thickly sliced
• 4 hamburger buns
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 pound grass-fed beef (80/20 ratio)
• 4 ounces pimiento cheese

1. Heat the vegetable oil to 375F in a deep fryer or a deep, heavy pan.
2. In a bowl, season the flour with the salt and pepper.
3. In another bowl, whisk 2 of the eggs with water to make an egg wash.
4. Spread the panko on a plate.
5. Dip the tomato slices, one at a time, into the seasoned flour, transfer to the egg wash, and then toss in the panko until coated.
6. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towellined plate to drain.
8. Heat a large griddle over medium heat, brush the buns with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, and toast on the griddle until golden brown.
9. Set aside.
10. Form the beef into 4 patties of equal size.
11. Liberally season with salt and pepper.
12. Heat a large griddle pan or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat and add the burgers to the pan.
13. Cook, turning once, until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes, or longer if desired.
14. While the burgers are cooking, heat a large nonstick pan over high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and crack the remaining 4 eggs into the pan, frying until cooked over easy, or over medium if preferred.
15. To assemble, spread 1 ounce of the pimento cheese on the top half of each bun, then layer 1 burger, 1 egg, and 2 slices of the fried green tomatoes on the bottom of the bun.
16. Assemble the two halves and serve immediately.
