- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that's about 2-3cm thick. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the centre of each patty - this will help the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from puffing up.

- Bake the burgers for 20-25 minutes or until they're cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Flip them halfway through.
- Top each burger patty with a slice of cheese and return to the oven for 1 minute to melt.

- That's it! These baked burgers are easy to make and packed with flavour. They're a great option for when you want a tasty and satisfying meal without all the fuss of grilling or frying. Enjoy!

Notes
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil to prevent the burgers from sticking to the pan and to make cleanup easier.
- Choose lean ground beef or turkey for your burgers, as the excess fat can make the burgers greasy and cause them to shrink while cooking.
- Add your favourite seasonings and spices to the ground meat before shaping the patties.
- Use your hands to gently shape the meat into evenly sized patties. Make sure not to overwork the meat as this can result in tough burgers.
