Ingredients

For the patties

500 gram mince

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3/4 cup breadcrumbs

2 clove garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

4 size 6 eggs

To assemble

4 slice smoked cheese

Method

1.Mix the patty ingredients together, roll into 4 balls and shape into flat patties. With a cookie cutter or sharp knife, remove a circle from the centre of each patty. Make sure the patty is still nicely held together.

2.Heat some oil in a large frying pan and fry the patties until the bottom starts to cook – about 4 minutes. Crack an egg into a small bowl and then carefully pour into the hole. Cook for a further few minutes until the egg starts to cook on the bottom. Carefully flip patty and cook the remaining side for about 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top of patty and cover with a lid until melted.

3.Construct your burger with your desired toppings. Serve immediately with hot chips, or a green salad if you want to feel healthier.
