Ingredients

500 g (1lb 2oz) pack 20% fat beef mince
1 medium egg
50 g (2oz) fresh breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
75 g (3oz) grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
Olive oil, to brush

TO SERVE

4 seeded burger buns, toasted
Baby Gem lettuce, leaves separated, optional
Tomato slices, optional
Crispy streaky bacon, optional

Directions

1. Step 1
  To make the burgers, mix the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Divide into 4 portions. Working one at a time, flatten in your hand, stuff with ¼ of the cheese, and reshape into a patty about 2.5cm (1in) thick (sealing in the cheese). Cover and chill for 30min to firm up.
2. Step 2
  Heat a large griddle pan/pan/barbecue over medium-high heat. Brush with oil and cook burgers for about 10min, turning halfway, until cooked through and the cheese has melted. Next, briefly toast the buns.
3. Step 3
  Serve burgers in the buns with sauce of your choice, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy bacon, if you like.
