Fancier Cheeseburger

Method

1. Chop up the shallot or spring onion into very small bits.
2. Whisk the egg.
3. Add the minced beef into a large mixing bowl, along with 1tsp paprika, some breadcrumbs (optional), 2 squirts of mustard, a little salt and pepper, the shallot or spring onion and the whisked egg to the meat and give everything a really good mix up.
4. If you're feeling a bit kinky, chop up a few slices of red jalapeno and throw them into the mix.
5. Split the meat mix into 4 balls, and then press out the balls into burger patty shapes.
6. Heat up a wide-base pan with a little olive oil on a medium heat.
7. Once hot, place the burger patties into the pan and leave to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the meat looks to be browned at least halfway up the sides of each patty.
8. Flip the patties over, and repeat. It is important you flip the burgers only when they are ready otherwise they can easily fall apart.
9. When almost cooked, add a cheese slice to the top of each patty, and once the cheese has started to melt over them, remove the pan from the heat.
10. If you're doing the Keto diet, you can use the lettuce leaves as 'bread', and add in a slice of tomato and keto-friendly sauce of your choice. If not, stack them however you like.
11. Eat!
