Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 150 g Cheddar cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato (sliced)
- 1 Onion (sliced, optional)
- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty that is slightly larger than the size of the burger bun.
Take half the shredded or sliced cheddar cheese and gently press it into the center of each patty. Fold the edges of the meat over the cheese and reshape into a patty to encase the cheese completely.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the patty reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid pressing the patties down with the spatula, as this can squeeze out the juices.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on another skillet or in a toaster until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a slice of tomato, and a few onion slices (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Top with additional shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise if desired.
Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad. Enjoy!
