Instructions
1
Prep
Seed and finely dice the jalapeno, grate the cheddar, then mash both with the cream cheese until evenly combined and streaked with green flecks.

Build
Form the beef into two thin patties, spread the filling over one, seal the second on top and pinch the edges. Season outside with salt, pepper and paprika.
4
Sear
Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high and sear the stuffed patty 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned and the centre reaches 70C, then melt the cheddar slice on top.
