Ingredients

For the burger:
100g mince beef
1/3 of a buffalo mozzarella ball
Teaspoon of dried oregano/mixed herbs
1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
1 shallot peeled and finely chopped
Olive oil, salt and pepper
To serve:
burger bun or roll sliced open
mixed lettuce leaves
mayonnaise
ground paprika (optional)
1 smoked bacon rasher


Pre-heat the grill to 220°C. Mix together the mince beef, onion, herbs and garlic in a bowl. Add enough olive oil to help bind the mixture and season with salt and pepper before mixing again. Pat the mixture in your hand, keeping it in a round shape making it as thin as possible. Judge how much mozzarella you think will fit inside the burger, the meat might not wrap around if you use too much. Place the mozzarella in the middle of your burger patty and wrap the meat around the cheese, making sure all edges are sealed and working into a good burger shape, (left).

Place a sheet of tin foil on your grill pan and cook your burger for 8 minutes, 4 minutes each side. In the meanwhile, make your paprika mayonnaise. In a small bowl or glass, mix 1-2 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon paprika, set to one side. When it gets to 4 minutes, carefully turn over the burger, add your burger bun pieces (inner side up), and your bacon rasher. After 4 minutes remove everything from the grill and assemble. Spread plenty of mayonnaise on the bread, add burger then salad, then bacon.
