Ingredients

  • 500 g beef mince (20% fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • olive oil spray
  • 250 g halloumi cheese, sliced
  • 1 pack Toscano French Brioche Burger Buns (4 buns)
  • mayonnaise, coleslaw, tomato relish and Always Fresh Baby Cucumbers to serve
  • fries, to serve
Quick-pickled onion
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup 125ml apple cider vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • To make the pickled onions, slice the onion into rings as thinly as possible with a sharp knife or mandolin. Put onion in a small bowl, sprinkle with sugar and add vinegar. Set aside and stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a heavy-based frying pan or barbecue hot plate over high heat.
  • Gently combine the beef with salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Without over-mixing the beef. Form into 4 even patties.
  • Spray the patties with oil and press firmly into the pan or hotplate with a spatula. Use your thumb to leave a deep indent in the centre of each patty. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until a good crust has formed. Flip patties over and press firmly into the pan just once. Cook for a further 2 – 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest, covered loosely with foil. Add the cheese to the same pan and cook for 1 – 2 minutes each side until heated through. Set aside with the cooked patties.
  • Toast the Toscano French Brioche Burger Buns, cut-side down, in a hot frying pan or on hotplate over high heat for 30 seconds or until lightly golden and toasted. Remove and place on plates.
  • Spread the toasted sides of buns with mayonnaise, top the bases with coleslaw, patties, tomato relish, cheese and pickled onion.
  • Close the burgers, skewer with baby cucumbers and serve immediately with fries.
