Place all burger patty ingredients in food processor and process until they form a chunky texture. Divide mixture in 6 even-sized balls. Wet hands and form in patties. Makes quite wet patties, so cover and chill for at least 1 hour (or overnight) before cooking.
Meanwhile, place all salad ingredients in a bowl and mix together.
When ready to eat, spray a hot frying pan with oil and cook burger patties for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden.
Spray pan again with oil and fry eggs gently.
To assemble burgers, spread 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise on each bread roll bottom half. Top with salad mix followed by tomato, burger pattie and fried egg. Top with the other bread roll half and serve with side salad.
