Time 30m

Yield 4 patties, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

350 g minced beef (substitute with lamb, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.)
1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons mixed Italian herbs
1 egg
60 g camembert cheese

Steps:

Put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, except for the cheese. Mix thoroughly using your hands, ensuring the ingredients are well distributed.
Cut cheese into disks, 3/4" thick. You can use any cheese of your choice, my favourites are Camembert, Brie and Monterey Jack.
Divide mixture into 4 portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty, approximately 2" thick.
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.
Place cheese in the pocket and cover with the reserved meat, pinching the sides to close and smooth to flatten.
Cook on a grill for approximately 7 minutes on each side to allow the cheese to melt, or to desired doneness.
Serve as you would a regular burger, or on its own with side dishes.
