Method

Burger Patties  
1

Prepare all of your ingredients before you begin. 

2

In a large mixing bowl add beef mince,  breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, mixed herbs, Worcestershire sauce, chilli flakes (optional), salt and season generously with pepper.  

3

With clean hands, gently mix to combine, and then shape the mixture into 4 generous patties and set aside on baking paper. 

Cooking the Burger
1

In a pan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add onions and sauté until almost tender. Push onions to one side of the pan and add mushrooms keeping them separated. Continue to sauté until both are tender. Remove from heat, cover the pan with foil to keep the heat in, and set aside. 

2

Sprinkle both sides of the burger patties with a little more salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or BBQ plate over a medium heat and fry patties about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

3

With a couple minutes to go after flipping the patties, top with the blue cheese and allow to sit on the grill until the cheese melts (about 2 minutes).  

To Assemble
1

Assemble burgers by arranging any desired toppings. Keep it simple - add aioli to the bottom half of each bun, top with some lettuce leaves, follow with the cheesy burger patty, and top with the sautéed mushrooms, onion, and top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
