For the Buns:

• 2 tsp. poppy seeds
• 2 tsp. sesame seeds
• 1 tsp. dried garlic flakes
• 1 tsp. dried onion flakes
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 large egg white

For the Burgers:

Directions

1. For the buns: Preheat the oven to 375˚. Stir together the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes and salt in a small bowl. Whisk the egg white in another small bowl until foamy. Arrange the buns on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white. Sprinkle with the everything seasoning. Bake until the seasoning is set, 5 to 6 minutes.
2. For the burgers: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Mix the cream cheese and sun-dried tomato pesto in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Break up the ground beef in a large bowl; season with the salt and pepper. Form into six ó-inch-thick patties; season lightly with more salt and pepper.
4. Grill the burgers until done to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a plate.
5. To serve, split the buns and spread a good amount of the cream cheese mixture on the insides. Place the burgers on the buns with the lettuce, tomato and red onion. Serve with potato chips.
