Breaded Goats Cheese Burger

This is my attempt to re-create the 'Billy' burger that I used to love having in GBK around 2008. I've not seen it on their menu for years so I might be mis-remembering what it had on it, but this is still a tasty burger.

Ingredients

• 1 aubergine, sliced into 1cm slices
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 125g soft goats cheese
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 80g breadcrumbs
• 2 burger buns
• 4 sundried tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato relish

Method

1. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the aubergine slices for about 5 minutes on one side, until nicely browned.
2. Turn the aubergine slices over and add another tbsp of olive oil to the pan.
3. Split the goats cheese into two balls and use your hands to shape each into a disk.
4. Move the discs of cheese carefully between a bowl with the flour, a bowl with the beaten egg and a bowl with the breadcrumbs. Coating the discs with the contents of each bowl.
5. Repeat the flour-egg-breadcrumb process again to add an extra layer to each goats cheese disc.
6. By now the second side of the aubergine slices should have browned, so remove from the frying pan and add the final tbsp of olive oil to the pan and give it a minute to heat up.
7. Cook the breaded goats cheese discs in the frying pan for about 3 minutes each side, until nicely browned.
8. Constructor the burgers by putting 2 sundried tomatoes in each bun, then a slice of aubergine, followed by the breaded goats cheese and then finally a topping of the relish.
