1. Mix together the minced beef and enough beaten egg to bind it together, seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide the mince into four, shaping and pressing each into a burger. Heat a grill pan or the grill. Brush the burgers with the oil and cook for 6-7 mins on each side (using a baking tray if beneath the grill) for medium.
2. Meanwhile, cut the cucumber into thick slices. Put the slices in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Add a small splash of malt vinegar and mix well. Stir together the mayonnaise and the chosen mustard.
3. Present the burgers on the tomato slices, topping with the mustard mayonnaise, cucumber slices and onion rings. Finish with the burger on an iceberg leaf, topping with another leaf, if you prefer.

'I bought good-quality mince - Aberdeen Angus - for the quarter-pounders. It's really straightforward and all good, though next time I would cut down on the cucumber.'

  Worked well. I did put them in the fridge after making them for about 30mins which apparently helps keep them in one piece when cooking. Next time I'll add some more seasoning and perhaps some Worcester sauce.
