In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, chopped gherkins, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.

Burger Recipe FAQs

How to make burger patties

Place your ground meat (or vegetables) into a mixing bowl, season with whatever herbs, spices and other seasonings you would like, then using your hands, gently mix everything together until all of the ingredients are equally combined. Divide your ground meat or vegetables into equal portions, depending on the desired size of your patty, then flatten to make a burger shape. It’s important to make sure that each patty is of even thickness and size to ensure they cook evenly.

Do you put an egg in burgers?

Yes, adding an egg to burger patties is a common practice and it can serve more than one purpose. The egg acts as a binder, helping to hold the ingredients together and preventing the patties from falling apart during cooking. Additionally, the egg contributes to the moisture of the burger, resulting in a juicier patty.
