Add the ground beef to a mixing bowl. Mince the white root ends of the spring onions and add to the ground beef.
Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Add the whites from 2 eggs to the meat mixture. Discard the rest of the whites and set the yolks aside.
Add the breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to meat mixture. Mix with your hands until homogeneous. Divide the mixture into 4 and form 4 patties by pressing the mixture onto parchment paper.
Set a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat and cook the beef patties 2-3 minutes per side. They will release some grease, so there is no need for extra cooking fat if using a non-stick pan.
As the meat is cooking, halve the bread rolls and spread butter over open faces.
Lay cooked meat patties over butter layer. Rest for a couple of minutes so that the heat of the meat will melt the butter.
Peel and slice the onion into rings. Place a couple of rings over every beef patty. Top each sandwich with a raw egg yolk right in the centre of the onion rings.
Sprinkle some more salt and pepper and top with sliced spring onions (the leafy ends).
