Serves: 4

Make in: 40 mins

Ingredients

500g Becketts Butchery beef mince

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Small handful chopped parsley

1 free-range egg yolk

4 Becketts Bakery burger baps or brioche rolls

8 slices Fowlers of Earlswood, extra mature cheddar

3 tomatoes, sliced

1 baby gem lettuce, roughly chopped

½ cucumber portion, sliced thinly

Method

1. Place the beef mince, garlic, mustard, egg yolk and parsley into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
2. Shape the mixture into 4 burgers using the palms of your hands to press down.
3. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to a high heat. Cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes on each side or until well browned and cooked.
4. Top each burger with a couple of slices of cheese for the final few minutes of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
5. Top the burger bun bases with the burger. Add some tomato, lettuce and cucumber slices. Add your choice of relish or mayonnaise (see tip below) and then add the other half of the bun.
6. Enjoy with salad and home cooked potato wedges.

 

Top your burger with your favourite sauce, relish or mayo. For something a little different pop into the Farm Shop and discover a wide range of unusual and enticing condiments. Mrs Darlington’s Blue Cheese Mayonnaise is fantastic on these burgers or Bay Tree’s Spicy Tomato and Caramelised Onion Chutney adds real zing. For a kick, why not pick up a bottle of Tracklements Sweet Mustard Ketchup. Garlic lover?
