Directions

Combine beef, egg, garlic, cheese, bread crumbs, onion, Worcestershire sauce and tarragon in bowl.

Divide meat into 12 portions. Form into 3-inch (8 cm) patties. Make a thumb-print depression in centre of each patty (to prevent rounding while they grill). Make Ahead: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 day.

Grill patties using medium-high heat for 10 to 14 minutes, turning twice, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C).

Cooking Know-How

Keep patties a uniform thickness so they cook in about the same amount of time.

Time-Saver

Dampen hands with water when shaping patties to prevent meat from sticking.

Bright Idea

More than just fillers, adding bread crumbs and egg to burgers make them more tender and flavourful.
