Ingredients

• 350 g minced beef (substitute with lamb, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.)

• 60 g camembert cheese

Recipe

• 1 put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, except for the cheese. mix thoroughly using your hands, ensuring the ingredients are well distributed.
• 2 cut cheese into disks, 3/4" thick. you can use any cheese of your choice, my favourites are camembert, brie and monterey jack.
• 3 divide mixture into 4 portions. shape each portion into a burger patty, approximately 2" thick.
• 4 using a spoon, scoop out approximately 1 tbsp meat from the middle of the patty for the pocket, being careful not to scoop all the way through to the bottom (leave 1/2" of meat for the base of the pocket). reserve the scooped meat.
• 5 place cheese in the pocket and cover with the reserved meat, pinching the sides to close and smooth to flatten.
• 6 cook on a grill for approximately 7 minutes on each side to allow the cheese to melt, or to desired doneness.
• 7 serve as you would a regular burger, or on its own with side dishes.
