Cheese Stuffed Burgers For Two Recipes

Steps:

• For a relish for the adult burgers, combine the cherry tomatoes, parsley leaves, minced garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, and toss everything together. You can do this ahead of time and chill it in the fridge.
• Divide the ground beef into 4 patties. You can make the kid patties slightly smaller, or they can have leftovers.
• Dent the center of each burger patty, and divide the white Cheddar between 2 of the indentations and the pimento cheese between the other 2. Doing the best you can, fold the meat up and over the cheese, then lightly press to seal everything together.
• Grill or sear the burger patties over medium-high heat, roughly 4 minutes per side. Let the burgers rest for about 5 minutes. Put the burgers in the buns.
• Serve the kid (white Cheddar) burgers with apple wedges, chips or fries.
• Serve the adult (pimento cheese) burgers topped with the tomato-parsley relish.

Steps:

• Cut each cheddar cheese block into 8 cubes (totaling 16 cubes).
• Press the cheddar cheese cube into the meatball and wrap the meat around it, completely covering the cheese.
• Preheat a skillet on medium heat for 10 minutes. After preheated, carefully coat with a light layer of oil with a high smoke point (we used canola oil).
• Add sliders to the pan, frying on the first side until the bottom is browned and crisp and the sides begin to brown (about 2-4 minutes, depending on the desired doneness). Flip and finish cooking on the other side.
• Serve immediately on Hawaiian sweet rolls with your favorite burger garnishes. (We added Roma tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and Sriracha mayo.)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion with a good pinch of salt for 15 mins until soft and translucent. Add the pancetta and cook for 5 mins more, then add the garlic and thyme, and cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Tip the mince into a large bowl. Massage with your hands for 5 mins to tenderise the meat, then add the cooled onion mix, the breadcrumbs and egg yolk. Season generously. Divide evenly into four, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Mix the cheddar and mozzarella together. Form the beef portions into patties, patting each into a 10cm round. Divide the cheese mixture into four, and, in your hands, form each portion into a firm ball, then press into a roughly 4cm disc. Working one at a time, put a cheese disc into the centre of a beef patty, then bring the meat around the cheese to cover. Lightly pat with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly, then chill, covered, for at least 30 mins or up to 48 hrs.
• Make the sauce by whizzing the mayonnaise, mustard and herbs together in a small food processor. Stir through the gherkins, then cover and chill until ready to use.
• Light the barbecue. When the flames have died down, grill the burgers on each side for 4-5 mins until charred (if you don't have a barbecue, see tip, below). Wrap individually in foil and leave on the barbecue for 5-7 mins so the cheese centre melts.
• Grill the buns, cut-side down, for 1-2 mins until toasted. Spread all the cut sides with the sauce, then fill with the beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy onions.
