We often see red meat paired with blue cheese and why not?  The combo tantalizes tastebuds like no other!  Add in some heat to bring the the flavor combination to a new level! This recipe was inspired by the spicy black and blue burger on the menu of several local restaurants.  Pastured eggs not only add flavor, but also healthy fatty acids and beta-carotene.  The result?  A simply delicious black and blue hamburger pie!

Enjoy!
