Put the mince in a large mixing bowl.
Now this is going to sound nuts, but I let it warm up a little (for around 1 hour) because when I mix it up my fingers freeze and it’s not cool … well, it is cool, but you know what I’m saying, right?

Drop in the rest of the ingredients in any order you like.
Scooping out the eggshell is always super fun – or you can try to avoid this if you like. Wash your hands really well before mixing the ingredients all together with your hands.

Prepare a large plate or tray lined with baking paper to place the patties as you make them.
Use wet hands to make the patties so that the mixture doesn’t stick to your fingers. I make eight balls, then squash them on the grill when I start cooking. (I use a barbecue grill because it’s easier for cleaning purposes, however a frying pan works perfectly well too.)

Before you start frying, line a large plate with paper towel.
The cooking time depends on how flat you squash the patties; I like the patties a little crispy so I squash them till they’re about 1 cm thick. Cooking time for 1 cm is around 3 minutes on each side.

I usually cook these the night before and pop them in an airtight container in the fridge once they cool down.
In the morning, I pop the patties in the microwave for 2 minutes so they’re super-hot and then they go straight into a hot thermos.
