Method

To make patties

Cut crusts off the bread and soak remaining bread in milk.

Place all the patty ingredients, except for olive oil, in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and combine. This is best done with clean hands.

Shape into 6 patties, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Preheat a BBQ or frying pan to a medium heat and add oil.

Add patties and fry for a few minutes until crunchy and brown on one side. Press down on the raw side of the burger as it is frying to prevent it from shrinking.

Turn the patties over, reduce the heat to medium low and cook for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

To serve

Everyone can assemble their own burgers with the fillings and don’t forget to give the burger a good press down with your palm before you attempt to eat it.
