Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice apple (see ingredients). • Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar (for the salad) and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside. • In a second medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), the egg and garlic & herb seasoning. Season generously with salt and pepper. Shape beef mixture into evenly sized patties (one per person) slightly larger than the burger buns.
• Thinly slice red onion. • In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion and diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), the water and the brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• While the onion is caramelising, slice haloumi horizontally to get one piece per person. • In a large frying pan, heat drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook haloumi until golden brown, 2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack, until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• To the bowl with the dressing, add mixed salad leaves and apple. Season, then toss to coat. • Spread bases of the burger buns with mayonnaise. • Top with beef patty, haloumi, caramelised bacon-onion and tomato. • Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!
