Ingredients

• 1 lb of lean ground chicken, or turkey, or beef
• 3 tbsp of butter, softened
• 3 – 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 egg
• 1 piece of soft bread, crust removed
• 1 cup of panko bread crumbs
• salt and black pepper to taste

In a small bowl, combine butter and cheese. With wet hands form small sticks half an inch in diameter (they should look kind of like a string cheese). Set in refrigerator to harden.

Blend onion and bread in a food processor until smooth. In a large bowl combine ground meat, egg and onion and bread mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

With wet hands, form a small oval patty and place a butter and cheese stick on it. Cover with another small patty. Now you should have a patty stuffed with butter and cheese mixture so it is time to cover it in breadcrumbs and fry in sunflower oil on medium heat until done.
