James’s Ultimate Cheeseburger
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 1/4lb Steak Burgers
- 4 brioche burger rolls
- 1 tsp veg oil
- 4 Portobello mushroom
- 200g Snowdonia black bomber cheese, sliced
- Cracked black pepper and sea salt to season
- 2 tbsp Hot lemon sauce
- 2 tbsp mayo
- Little Gem lettuce
- Handful of Sliced Gherkins
Serving suggestion:
- We recommend serving alongside a cool glass of Pure UBU from Purity Brewing Co – for the grown-ups of course!
Method:
- Remove the stalk from your mushroom and place a large disc of Black Bomber cheese on each mushroom. Bake at 180˚C in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Cook your beef patties in a ridged skillet with a little oil for 6-8 mins and season to taste.
- Toast your burger rolls and spread with a little hot lemon and mayo sauce.
- Build your burger with a couple of crisp little gem leaves on the base and then your cooked beef burger, next sliced gherkins followed by the grilled cheesy mushroom.
