CHEESE BURGERS

PREP + COOK TIME 20 MINUTES SERVES 4

An all-in-one meal for lunch or dinner, burgers tick all the boxes while camping. Choose buns, baps, brioche or Turkish bread, or even “bunless” lettuce or grilled mushrooms to bookend a juicy burger filling. Customise the fillings to suit.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion (150g), sliced

500g beef mince

8 slices cheddar cheese

4 eggs

4 bread rolls, split

¼ cup (75g) aïoli or mayonnaise

4 butter or iceberg lettuce leaves

1 large tomato (220g), sliced thickly

⅓ cup (110g) relish (or sauce of your choice)

⅓ cup (120g) drained bread and butter pickles

1 Preheat a barbecue plate or frying pan over medium heat. Add oil and onion; cook for 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Push onion to a cooler part of the barbecue to keep warm. 2 Meanwhile, season mince well; shape into four patties. Increase barbecue heat to high. Cook patties for 2 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Top with cheese while hot. Transfer to a plate. Crack eggs on barbecue; cook until egg whites are set, edges are crisp and yolks are cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Toast buns, cut-side down, on barbecue for 1 minute.

3 To assemble burgers, spread bun bases with aïoli. Top with lettuce, tomato, a patty, an egg, onion, relish, pickles and bun tops.
