The Cheddar cheeseburger, with pine nuts and thyme mixed into the meat, sits on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin pedestal. In a wink at the restaurant’s egg theme and recalling the time-honored steak à cheval, a fried egg is placed on top. Once you taste it, you'll never forget.

1 tablespoon Snipped chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Ketchup
4 Large eggs
2 Whole-wheat English muffins, split
1/4 pound Thinly sliced Cheddar cheese
