Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine beef mince, finely grated onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Italian herb blend, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Divide the meat mixture into 10-12 equal portions. Flatten each portion, place a cube of cheese in the center, and shape it into a patty.
  4. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking tray, brush with olive oil, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until golden and firm to touch.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle grated cheese over each patty. Return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Let the patties rest on the tray for about 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
