25/01/12 - Fed Up of Cereal? Celebrate Farmhouse Breakfast Week with a Side of Stilton

 

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day but how many people actually look forward to it? We are determined to not only make it the most important meal but the most delicious with our scrummy Stilton and Bacon Burger recipe.

 

And what’s more, this week is Farmhouse Breakfast Week here in the UK so what better excuse to treat yourself to a hearty breakfast that will certainly set you up for the busy day ahead.

 

Breakfast or Brunch, this recipe will leave you wishing it was Farmhouse Breakfast Week every week!

 

Stilton and Bacon Burgers, with the works

Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes

450g steak mince
Pepper
Stilton cheese, cut into thin slices
8 slices smoked streaky bacon
Olive oil

 

To serve: 4 Buns, 4 trimmed leaves of your favourite lettuce, sliced tomatoes, gherkins and red onions, mayo and ketchup, (or red onion jam).

 

Mix together the mince with lots of salt and pepper and shape into 4 burgers. Heat a griddle pan until smoking. Grill thoroughly until cooked through.

Set the burgers on a plate to rest for a minute or two while you get on with your bacon. Lay the bacon on the griddle and grill for 1 minute on each side or until crisp and golden.

When the burgers are done pop a burger in each of the buns and build to your liking. For me the works means putting mayo and salad on the bottom bun, then topping with ketchup and cheese, but do it however it feels natural to.
