1. 1. Preheat your oven to 185C.
2. 2. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, don’t overwork your mince.
3. 3. If making in advance don’t season, do it right before cooking.
4. 4. Form patties, chill for 10 minutes.
5. 5. Pan-fry both each side for a minute and transfer in the oven, cook for 10-12 minutes or until the temperature in the centre reaches 75C.

Jan’s Tip:

Throw the patty down onto your surface to get rid of air bubbles, then add a dimple with your thumb in the middle so that the burger cooks evenly.

To Serve:

Make your burger into a total feast with plenty of toppings, sauces and sides. Stack it high to get an authentic take on an American burger. Don’t forget the all important bun, brioche is the best or try out a tangzhong just like the ones from our baking classes.

Add the toppings you like – gherkins, little gem lettuce, sriracha mayonnaise, Monterey jack cheese

Sides – try triple cooked chips, sweet potato fries, slaw
