Today’s recipe is inspired by Babe’s lack of decision making and @SunbeamAustraliaNZ new Turbo Crunch Toastie Maker. I grew up eating this kind of toastie (aka jaffle), but mainly with leftover spaghetti as the filling. The cheeseburger version is pretty tasty! So what’s different with this toastie maker? It has a Turbo button which gives a short boost of power for a little extra crunch on the outside, and the extra height hinge allows you to close the lid from a higher angle (to avoid your sandwich sliding away).
Ingredients
- 250g (9 oz) 80/20 beef mince
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp gherkin pickle, finely chopped
- 4 slices white tin loaf bread
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 slices American cheese
- 6 slices dill pickles
- 1 tbsp oil for the smash burgers
Method
1. Start by preheating the Turbo Crunch Toastie Maker.
2. Divide the beef into 2 portions and roll them into tight balls.
3. To make the sauce, add the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and finely chopped pickle to a bowl and mix well.
4. Place a heavy frying pan on high heat. When hot, add a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, add one of the beef balls and smash it into the pan. Season with salt and add the sliced onions on top. When the burger is almost cooked through, flip it and cook for 1 minute on the other side.
5. To assemble, butter the bread and place the buttered side facing down in the toastie maker. Add the smash burger, pickles, cheese, and some of the sauce.
6. Place the second slice of bread on top with the butter facing up and close the machine.
7. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then serve.
