Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 4 slices of bacon
- 150 g minced beef
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 slice(s) puff pastry, frozen or 2 squares
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp, heaped mustard
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 egg(s), beaten
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 2 equal portions. Form each portion into a burger patty. Quarter the cheddar and stack the quarters on top of each other to form a cube. Place 2 slices of bacon parallel to each other, then 2 more slices across them to form a cross. (It will hold better if you “weave” the slices together.) Place a patty on the bacon cross. Then place the cheddar cube on top. Place the second patty on top, pressing the edges together as tightly as possible to prevent the cheddar from leaking out during frying and baking. Wrap the excess bacon around the burger and press it down slightly so that the ground beef is almost completely surrounded by bacon. Cook the burger over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan/convection oven). Form the 2 rectangular puff pastry sheets into a square. Make sure to join the seams together as tightly as possible on both sides, otherwise they will come apart in the oven. Put a large dollop of mustard in the middle of the square and place the burger on top. Cut squares off the corners of the dough to form a cross, similar to bacon. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and place the dough over the burger. Seal any holes as tightly as possible. Brush the outside of the wrapped burger completely with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place the burger on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Side dish as desired: lettuce, tomatoes, gherkins, French fries.
