Chicken Cordon Bleu Burger

When someone asks me "Where to find the best burgers of Pakistan?" my answer is always Islamabad.

You will find top quality burgers in that city and the you also can find some of them in the DHA and Gulberg sectors of Lahore.

I'm just joking and if anyone's offended well good for them. The best burgers of Pakistan are made by me in my kitchen and I'm joking again.

Moving on with today's recipe which is Chicken Cordon Bleu. Wanted to make this from a while. Was a bit scared as it is a tad bit complicated but I think I did justice to it.

Ingredients:

500 grams minced chicken breast (will make 2 patties)

half cup all purpose flour

1 cup buttermilk

Chicken/turkey deli slices (1 per patty)

Cheese slices (2 per burger)

Salt (1 teaspoon for the patty and 1/2 teaspoon for the flour)

Black pepper (1 teaspoon for the patty and 1/2 teaspoon for the flour)

Paprika 1/2 teaspoon for the patty

Burger buns

Lettuce

Mustard

Canola oil for deep frying

Season the minced chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.

Making the patty for the Cordon Bleu is a bit complicated but I will show you. Just follow the pictures below and I will explain as well.

1. Form a patty hollow from the center.
2. Place a folded half cheese slice in the center of the patty.
3. Place the chicken/turkey deli slice on the cheese slice.
4. Cover the deli slice with the remaining half cheese slice.
5. Fold the sides of the patty to cover the hollow space and cover the filling.

I have 1 kg minced chicken so I made four patties.

Place the patties in the fridge for 15 minutes. My hand looks creepy.

After 15 minutes, cover your frying pan for half inch in canola oil. Start warming it up on medium low heat.

Season the flour with salt and pepper.

Place the buttermilk, the patties and the flour together.

Here is how the breading will be done for this patty.

1. Dip the patty in the buttermilk.
2. Take out the patty and put it on the flour plate.
3. Cover it properly with flour. Shake off the excess flour.
4. Add the patty to the frying pan.

Cook the patties til golden brown on both of the sides.

Take them out on a paper toweled plate.

Cover the patties with cheese slices while they are hold so the cheese melts perfectly on them.

Set up your burger by applying mustard on the bottom, placing some lettuce over it, place the patty covered with a cheese slice and that's it.

This burger is like a dream within a dream because it is filled with cheese, deli and more cheese.

Monte Cristo Sandwich

I'm a man and I make my own sandwich, may it be the Monte Cristo Sandwich.

Monte Cristo Sandwich is a French origin recipe breakfast recipe with is originally made with ham, thick bread and thick egg batter BUT the west has reshaped this sandwich and has made many variations to it by replacing ham with turkey or chicken deli slices.

I'm not sure about the how the 90% of the things that I make will turn out because I',m mostly making these things for the first time. Had to try this and I am glad that I did.

Very simple to make just like any other french toast recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

K & N's Mortadella Slices

6 slices of white sandwich bread with crust

10 cheese slices

3 eggs

2 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

splash of milk

pinch of salt, black pepper and paprika

1 tablespoon of butter

1 tablespoon of oil

The first thing we'll do is to make the spread by mixing the mayo and mustard together.

Now we break three eggs into a bowel. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and paprika in it, add a splash of milk and mix to prepare the batter.

Time to assemble the sandwich which is easier than assembling the avengers.

Let's do it in steps.

1. Place the slices.

2. Put the spread on the middle and the bottom slice.

3. Top the bottom slice with cheese first and then the mortadella slices.

4. Top the middle slice with mortadella slices and then the cheese.

5. Put the sandwich together.

Heat a tablespoon of butter and oil in a non stick pan.

Dip the sandwich in the egg batter on both sides. Don't leave it for more than a second because it will become too soggy.

Fry the sandwiches on low heat for 2-3 minutes each side.

The sandwich is cooked now.

Put it on a paper towel and pat it to take off the excess fat.

Cut it from the middle and it's ready to be devoured.

FYI: IF YOU THINK THAT THIS IS BURNT THEN PLEASE GO AND BURN YOURSELF AS WELL YOU LAZY PIECE OF SOULLESS BEING.

This can be your Sunday pleasure breakfast or a meal for anytime you feel down. This is like a girl you have a crush on but that girl is edible. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Monte Cristo Sandwich.
