Cheese-Stuffed Burgers

Found on the net in response to a request.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
• 1  fresh hot chili pepper
• 1  tomatoes
• 1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef
• 2  teaspoons  oil
•  salt and pepper
• 8  slices  crusty bread
• 2  tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped

Directions

1. Shred the cheese, seed and chop the chile pepper; combine.
2. Slice the tomato; set aside.
3. Shape the beef into 8 thin patties, put 1/4 of the cheese mixture in the centre of 4 of the patties; top with remaining patties and pinch to seal.
4. Toast the bread.
5. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the hamburgers 6-8 minutes over medium heat for medium rare (I don't recommend cooking any ground meat to medium rare-- safety concerns-- but this is what the recipe states).
6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
7. Place cooked hamburgers on the toast and top with tomato slices and coriander, then another slice of toast.
