Everybody loves their burger. This is my take on a home-made burger. It is simple and delicious, and makes for a nice comfort meal. This recipe has been inspired by a Japanese chef/blogger and I have modified his recipe a little bit. You may find his blog here:http://www.masa.tw/
The golden proportion of lean and fat meat that I have been told is 7:3. This ratio will result in the most perfect, juicy and succulent burger. I use lamb mince as the fat cut because it has a high fat content. You may also substitute it with another fat cut. I put a small piece of mozzarella cheese inside the burger to create a secret surprise when they are bitten into! I love cheese in almost any food! My choices of veggie toppings are just the classic: tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese and most importantly, a sunny sided up with a melted yolk on top of the burger! A melted yolk with a burger is absolutely divine!
- 280 g Beef mince
- 120 g lamb mince
- 100 g Onion (half of a onion)
- 30 g breadcrumb
- 70 g Milk
- 1 Egg
- black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Worchester sauce
- 2 tsp Mustard
- 1-2 pieces Mozzarella cut into small pieces
- Finely dice the onion and stir fry it until it slightly turns brown. Set aside and leave it to cool.
- Mix the beef, lamb mince and salt and keep mixing it until it becomes sticky.
- Mix the milk and breadcrumb separately in another bowl.
- Add the milk and breadcrumb mixture, egg, pepper, Worchester sauce, mustard and onion with the meat mince. Mix them well.
- Divide the mixture into four portion equally.
- Take one portion and pat it between two hands 10 times. Put one(or two!) dice of mozzarella in the center and cover it. Flatten and mould it into rounded shape.
- Add the oil on the grill pan, grill it on both sides to seal it.
- Preheat the oven and bake it for 180 C for 6-8 minutes depending on how you like them. Alternatively, u may turn to medium heat and leave it on the grill pan and grill it for 6-7 minutes for each side. Again, depending on how you like them!
- Add any veggies toppings and sauces that u may like with the burger bun! I personally like to add a sunny side up on top of the burger meat! The egg yolk would melt on the burger meat, Gorgeous!
