Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Shape the mince with the pepper into 4 patties about 2 cm thick, pressing a dent in each.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Salt the patties and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Top with the cheese for the last minute. Rest on a plate.

  3. Toast the buns cut-side down in the pan for 1 minute. Fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the whites are set and the yolks are runny.

  4. Build each burger with lettuce, patty, beetroot and egg.

Tips for Making New Zealand Kiwi Burger

  • Shape the patties lightly.
  • Salt just before cooking.
  • Drain the beetroot well so it does not soak the bun.
  • Fry the eggs last so they go on hot.

Serving Suggestions

  • Oven chips
  • Coleslaw
  • Tomato sauce
  • Onion rings

Leftovers and Storage

Best eaten straight away. Cooked patties keep in the fridge for 2 days.
