Method

1. Mix the beef mince, egg, breadcrumbs, onion and plenty of seasoning in a bowl — use your hands and do not overwork it.
2. Shape into 4 loose patties, slightly larger than your buns (they shrink). Chill for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium.
4. Lay the cheddar on top for the final minute so it melts, and toast the burger buns cut-side down in the same pan.
5. Build: bun base, lettuce, patty, tomato, lid. Serve with whatever condiments you like.
