Method
Heat a heavy based non-stick frying pan over medium-heat. Split
and toast the brioche buns until nice and golden, about 1 to 2
minutes, being careful, as they will burn quickly. Remove and keep
warm.
Sear the tomatoes in the same pan over very high heat for 1-2
minutes until just starting to burn, remove and keep warm.
For the pancetta place the slices flat into the same frying pan
and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes each side until golden &
crisp.
For the patties place a thumbprint in the centre of each patty
to help the cook evenly. Season both sides of each patty with sea
salt and cracked black pepper and gently rub a little oil or fat
onto both sides.
Bring the frying pan to full heat then fry the patties, 4
minutes per side, for medium-cooked burgers (cook longer if you
prefer your burgers well done). In the last minute of cooking add
the butter and baste over the burgers, this will make them extra
rich and juicy.
Gently fry the eggs in equal amounts of vegetable oil and
butter over a gentle heat until the white is set, season with a few
sea salt flakes then build your burgers.
To build the burgers:
Spoon the Smashed Avocado onto the base of the toasted
brioche
