World's Greatest Breakfast Burger

World's Greatest Breakfast Burger
Prep: 20 Minutes - Cook: 35 Minutes - Moderately easy - Serves 8 Easily

A great breakfast burger should be big and juicy even when cooked on a BBQ. The secret? A burger needs fat, so I use quality sausage meat with a good amount of fat through it – this keeps the burger moist while it cooks. I have another secret: instead of salt, I use oyster sauce to season. I find salt draws out water, making the meat dry and crumbly.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, roughly chopped

2 tbsp tomato ketchup

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1kg/2lb 4oz sausagemeat, or meat squeezed from 16 large sausages

1 egg yolk

25g pack flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped

8 slices melting cheese (we used havarti)

TO SERVE

8 grilled rashers streaky smoked bacon

8 ciabatta buns, halved

tomato relish

Method

  1. Put the onion, ketchup and oyster sauce in a food processor, then blend to a coarse paste, scraping down the sides of the processor if you need to. Put the sausagemeat into a mixing bowl, beat
    in the onion mix, egg yolk and 25ml water (and I mean really beat; if you have a tabletop mixer, do it in that), then add
    the parsley. Separate the mix into 8, roll into large balls, then flatten into patties. Chill on a plate for 1 hr.

  2. To cook the burgers, heat a griddle or large frying pan without adding any extra fat. Fry for 3 mins on one side until golden, turn down the heat for 5 mins, then flip and repeat on the other side.

  3. While the burgers cook, fry the bacon and, if you are game, some eggs as well. Heat the grill, then lightly toast the insides of the ciabatta buns.

  4. Place the cooked burgers on a baking sheet, put a slice of cheese on each, then pop under the grill to melt. Sit the burgers on their buns, then place the bacon on top. If you feel like them, slide fried eggs on top of the bacon. Serve with a napkin.

PER SERVING 

801 kcals, protein 34g, carbs 64g, fat 47g, sat fat 18g, fibre 4g, sugar 10g, salt 5.29g

Good Food tip: If you are watching your salt and saturated fat intake, omitting the bacon and cheese reduces the salt count of each burger to 4.35g and the saturated fat to 11g. Remember, though, these burgers are an indulgent treat!
