Do you need an egg to make burgers?

If you want a juicy hamburger, it helps to restore some of that lost moisture. The easiest way is to add water or some other liquid to the burger mixture. We’ve found that 2 to 3 tablespoons of ice-cold water mixed into a pound of ground beef greatly increases the juiciness of grilled burgers.
How do you bind hamburger patties without eggs?
My secret to binding burgers without egg and other fillers is chia seeds.

Chia seeds work as a great egg replacer.
Why do homemade burgers fall apart?
Some people who make hamburgers have a tendency to add too much in their patties. They add soy, marinates, liquid seasoning, and even salt long before making the patty. All the extra ingredients either add too much moisture to the patty, which will make it fall apart. Some also use binders like breadcrumbs or eggs.
