These juicy burgers hold a melted cheese surprise for each satisfying mouthful. Serve with lettuce and bacon or your favourite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns

Preparation

In large bowl, beat egg with water; stir in bread crumbs, onion, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix just until combined.

Divide into quarters; shape into balls. With finger, make well in each ball; place one-quarter of the cheese in well. Press meat over to enclose cheese. Press into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator.)

Place patties on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre reads 160°F (71°C), 12 to 14 minutes. Serve on buns.
