# Ingredients:

01 - Six brioche buns.
02 - 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper.
03 - One large beaten egg.
04 - 500g of minced beef.
05 - 1 finely chopped red onion.
06 - 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley.
07 - 55g of blue cheese, crumbled.
08 - 55g of breadcrumbs.
09 - A few dashes of Tabasco sauce.
10 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard.
11 - 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce.
12 - 1 tsp of table salt.
13 - 6 crispy pancetta slices.
14 - 1 tbsp chopped chives.
15 - Around 4-5 tbsp sour cream.
16 - 2 tbsp olive oil (or close to it).
17 - Some onion chutney for spreading.
18 - 150g of blue cheese for sauce.

# Instructions:

01 - In a big mixing bowl, toss together minced beef, onion slices, breadcrumbs, blue cheese chunks, and a beaten egg.
02 - Add Worcestershire sauce, mustard, parsley, salt, pepper, and a couple shakes of Tabasco to the beef combo.
03 - Carefully knead everything by hand until it feels well-mixed but don’t overdo it.
04 - Divide mixture into 6 equally thick portions, gently shaping them into patties without compressing the meat too much.
05 - Wrap patties in plastic wrap and chill them in the fridge for a firm texture—exactly 30 minutes.
06 - Warm up a skillet on medium-high heat until it's hot enough to make pancetta sizzle.
07 - Sear pancetta slices until they’re delightfully crispy, then move onto a dry plate.
08 - In the same pan, cook burgers for around 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat.
09 - As the burgers cook, softly press with a spatula to ensure the surface cooks evenly.
10 - Mix sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, chopped chives, olive oil, and a splash of Worcestershire together in a small bowl.
11 - If the sauce feels a bit too thick, stir in more sour cream until you can spread it easily.
12 - Lightly toast the cut sides of the brioche buns until beautifully golden.
13 - Generously slather onion chutney on the bottom part of each toasted bun.
14 - Layer a cooked burger patty on top of the chutney-covered bun.
15 - Pile on a piece of crisp pancetta, ladle over some blue cheese sauce, and top it off with the other half of the bun.

# Notes:

01 - Fancy edition.
02 - Prepare sauce in advance.
03 - Feels like dining out.
04 - Full-bodied taste.
