    Loaded Beef Burgers

    I don't know why you’d skimp on fillings when making a burger. Load these up with layers of deliciousness, then just dive in!

    Serves: 2

    INGREDIENTS

    Burger
    450 grams good beef mince
    2 egg yolks
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    sea salt and ground pepper
    oil for cooking
    ¾ cup grated aged cheddar

    Epic mayo
    ½ cup good-quality egg mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons finely
    chopped gherkins
    1 tablespoon capers, chopped
    1 tablespoon each sriracha chilli sauce and American mustard
    ½ teaspoon sea salt

    To assemble
    2 brioche buns or regular burger buns, halved and toasted
    butter, mayo, rocket
    4 slices middle bacon, cooked
    purchased caramelised onions

    METHOD

    Preheat the grill to high.

    Burger: Combine the mince, yolks and mustard; season generously with salt and pepper. Form into two patties, slightly larger than the bun as they’ll shrink on cooking. Heat a little oil in a sauté pan and cook the burgers for 2 minutes each side, or until done to your liking. Place on a baking tray and top with the cheese. Grill until melted.

    Epic mayo: Stir everything together in a bowl.

    To assemble: Butter the cut side of the toasted buns. Spread the bases with mayo then layer up as follows: rocket, burger, bacon, mayo and caramelised onions. Add the tops and devour.
