I don't know why you’d skimp on fillings when making a burger. Load these up with layers of deliciousness, then just dive in!

BURGER

450 grams good beef mince

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

sea salt and ground pepper

oil for cooking

. cup grated aged cheddar

EPIC MAYO

½ cup good-quality egg mayonnaise

2 tablespoons finely chopped gherkins

1 tablespoon capers, chopped

1 tablespoon each sriracha chilli sauce and American mustard

½ teaspoon sea salt

TO ASSEMBLE

2 brioche buns or regular burger buns, halved and toasted

butter, mayo, rocket

4 slices middle bacon, cooked

purchased caramelised onions

Preheat the grill to high.

BURGER: Combine the mince, yolks and mustard; season generously with salt and pepper. Form into two patties, slightly larger than the bun as they’ll shrink on cooking. Heat a little oil in a saute pan and cook the burgers for 2 minutes each side, or until done to your liking. Place on a baking tray and top with the cheese. Grill until melted.

EPIC MAYO: Stir everything together in a bowl.

TO ASSEMBLE: Butter the cut side of the toasted buns. Spread the bases with mayo then layer up as follows: rocket, burger, bacon, mayo and caramelised onions. Add the tops and devour.
