Lunch: Big Mac-Style Burgers
Makes 2 burgers
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 sesame seed burger buns, split into 3 equal sized slices
• 4 beef burger patties
• 2 large iceberg lettuce leaves
• 4 cheese slices
• ⅓ cup burger sauce
• 8 pickle slices (optional)

Method

1. Turn on the Sunbeam Café Style 2-Slice Sandwich Press & Maker. Toast your bun halves for 2 minutes, cut side down and repeat with remaining buns.
2. When the buns are finished toasting, add two beef burger patties to the sandwich press, close and lock the lid and cook, 5 minutes. While the patties are cooking, finely shred your lettuce.
3. Open the lid and add a slice of cheese to the top of your burger, then close and lock the lid so it is hovering just above the cheese. Cook until the cheese melts, 2 minutes.
4. Repeat with the remaining burger patties and cheese.
5. Layer your burgers by spreading a tablespoon of burger sauce on your bottom burger bun, then top with lettuce, pickle slices (if using), meat patty and then the middle burger bun slice. Repeat with burger sauce, lettuce, pickles, patty and then the final top bun.

COOK’S TIP

If you can’t find burger sauce at the shops, you can make your own by combining ¼ cup mayo, 1 Tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp mustard, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp white vinegar in a medium bowl.

Snack/Dessert: Caramel Banana & Biscoff Dessert Pizza

Serves 4
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients

• 125g Caramilk cream cheese (caramel flavoured cream cheese)
• 25cm round pizza base
• 1 banana, sliced into coins
• 2 Oreo cookies, crushed
• ½ cup mini marshmallows
• 1 Tbsp smooth Biscoff spread

Method

1. Turn on the Sunbeam Café Style 6-Slice Sandwich Press & Maker.
2. Using a small offset spatula or metal spoon, spread the Caramilk cream cheese onto the pizza base. If the cream cheese is hard to spread, zap it in the microwave for 10 second bursts to soften in a microwave-safe bowl.
3. Top the pizza with the banana, crushed Oreo biscuits and mini marshmallows. Place onto the sandwich press. Close and lock the lid, so it is hovering just above the marshmallows. Cook, until marshmallows are melted and pizza base is warmed through, 6 minutes.
4. While the pizza is cooking, spoon the Biscoff spread into a microwave safe small bowl and microwave for 10 second bursts, until pourable.
5. Remove the dessert pizza from the sandwich press to a cutting board and drizzle with the warm Biscoff. Serve and enjoy!

COOK’S TIP
Caramilk cream cheese is sold in 250g tubs at Coles and other supermarkets. This recipe uses half a tub.

Ingredients

• 1 medium (350g) eggplant
• 2 medium eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1. Trim the top off the eggplant and discard. Slice the eggplant lengthways into 1.5cm thick slices. Cut each slice into 1.5cm batons, then cut each of these batons in half across the middle. You should have around 36 pieces, each around 6cm long.
2. Place the eggs, breadcrumbs and flour in three separate bowls. Whisk the eggs with a tablespoon of water, and season the flour with salt and pepper.

4. Transfer to the crisping plate in the fry basket and cook using the ‘fries’ function. Air-fry for 15 minutes, turning the chips for even cooking.
