Cheeseburger balls recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced. Line an oven-proof tray with baking paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine mince with sauces and plenty of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Remove plastic wrap from cheese slices and stack one on top of the other. Cut into four strips, then across into four squares so you have 16 little square stacks. Cut each sheet of pastry into 9 squares - you will have some left over.

Step 4

Divide mince mixture into 16 even pieces. Take one piece of beef and flatten into a disc in your palm. Place one cheese stack in the centre and wrap with the beef to enclose. Shape into a ball. Take one square of pastry and place the beef ball in the centre. Pull the corners over and join them together underneath. Press down the rest of the pastry so you have a completely sealed ball. Place seal side down on prepared baking tray. Continue with remaining ingredients until you have 16 balls.

Step 5

Brush the balls with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 6

Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
