Have a few simple tips on making beefburgers.
1. Leave it in the fridge for half an hour plus after you shape the patty.
2. Let it cook for a good few minutes on the first side before flipping it, else it WILL fall apart (this is especially true if you didn't do #1).
Very Simple Burger For One
Half a small pack of mince (125g), preferably full fat (I know, I know, but the final texture's better)
Half an egg
Seasoning
Bread bun
Onion (optional)
1. Whisk the egg up.
2. Pour half the egg into a container with your beef (or other) mince
3. Mix them together with your hands, season to taste, and form it into a burger shape (patty, if you're being a purist).
4. PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE! Pop it on a plate and cover it with clingfilm, or pop it in a sealed container. Either way, let it cool for between half an hour and 2 hours - I don't know what happens if you cool it for longer but if you don't leave it in there for a while then it is extremely likely to fall apart while cooking it.
5. Place it in the medium heated pan (you probably don't need any extra oil) and leave the first side to cook for a good 4-5 minutes
6. Flip it over to cook on the other side
7. If necessary, turn the heat down and leave it to cook through
8. Assemble and nom.
