Instructions

1. 1.

   Soak rolls in lukewarm water. Peel onion and garlic, finely chop the onion. Sauté in 1 tbsp butter and squeeze in the garlic.

2. 2.

   Mix ground beef with well-drained rolls, eggs, and the onion-garlic mixture. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard. Mash shepherd's cheese with a fork, then stir in cream and herbs.

3. 3.

   Bake frozen fries according to package instructions until crisp.

4. 4.

   Shape 8 thin patties from the meat mixture; place a layer of cheese mixture on 4 patties, cover with remaining patties, and form into stuffed patties, sealing edges tightly so cheese doesn’t leak.

5. 5.

   Brown stuffed patties in butter over medium heat, then cook for about 8 minutes to finish.

6. 6.

   Prepare salad: clean, wash, halve cherry tomatoes. Wash spring onions, trim white and light green parts, slice thinly, and scatter over tomatoes.

7. 7.

   Whisk salt, pepper, vinegar, and olive oil into a dressing; toss tomatoes with it.

8. 8.

   Serve stuffed patties with fries and tomato salad on plates, drizzle taco sauce over patties, and garnish with marjoram leaves.
