We love to eat chips while watching movies. So while we were watching a movie to celebrate the New Year, I decided to make some nachos! I love how it melts into a beautiful golden brown. You can simple pair it with chips or like me, I added some tomato salsa as well!

Pork and Cheese patty is the perfect combination. This cheesy pork burger uses ground pork mixed with apples and onions to give it a crunch. While pan frying it, I added Perfect Italiano 4 Cheese Melt and it coats the entire pork patty into a beautiful golden brown without making the patty too oily.

Ingredients

• ½ onion minced
• 480 g minced pork
• ½ carrot minced
• 1 apple cut into small pieces
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup basil cut into ribbons
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup of Perfect Italiano 4 Cheese Melt
• 4 hamburger buns
• Some lettuce for burger
• Some tomatoes for burger

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, basil, carrot, onion, paprika, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg and pepper. Mix until the ingredient are distributed properly.
2. Scoop about 120g of ground meat mixture and mold each into a ball shaped figure. Gently press on the ball shaped meat mixture to form a flat ground pork burger patty. Make a little indent in the center of the burger. This will help it cook a little more evenly.
3. Put a little olive oil in a non-stick pan. Set the pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Fry them like this for a few minutes on one side, without moving them around too much. Flip the burger and cook it for about 5 minutes on the other side.
4. When it is half cooked, sprinkle Perfect Italiano 4 Cheese Melt over burger patties. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and pork patty as desired on a toasted bun.
