I did the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Rocket, fresh tomato, caramelised and pickled red onions, beef patties, and of course, camembert. I specifically used the 250g Dalewood Camembert from Checkers. And no, this is not a sponsored post. I chose it because it is large, wide and relatively firm. This sounds saucier than it was meant to \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Slice tomato, wash rocket and set aside.<br \/>\n\u2022 Slice 6 red onions thinly.<br \/>\n\u2022 For the pickle, take 2 of the red sliced onions, place in bowl and half way cover with white vinegar and a big spoon of salt. Squish them with your hands to start them breaking down. Chill in the fridge.<br \/>\n\u2022 For the caramelised onions, heat up oil in a pan and fry with a table spoon of sugar (I use brown). Optional: add a dash of Worcestershire and\u00a0fish sauce. Set aside.<br \/>\n\u2022 Sadly, I bought\u00a0premade patties as I left it last minute.com and couldn&#8217;t find pork-free mince.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE CHEEEEEESE get&#8217;s its own section.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I chose wheels of cheese that were roughly 5cm thick. I sliced them down the centre to make them 2,5cm thick.<br \/>\n\u2022 Set up your batter. A little bowl of water. Beaten eggs. Flour. Breadcrumbs.<br \/>\n\u2022 Rube the dry side of the cheese with water using your fingers. Then coat in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.<br \/>\n\u2022Fill a small sauce pot with vegetable oil, enough that the wheel of cheese can\u00a0float. Get it hot hot hot.<br \/>\n\u2022 Gently lower the cheese into the oil using a large slotted spoon. Let it get golden. You&#8217;ll see it slowly begins rising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I don&#8217;t recommend flipping it. 4 out of 5 of mine were fine, the one completely exploded causing oil to pour over the pot and on to the floor. Very dangerous and unnecessary\u00a0as it browns beautifully.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While frying your cheese (+-3min each), start cooking up your patties.<\/p>\n<p>Layer it up and VOILA! Be careful, it&#8217;s hooot!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2997 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3481-1-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3014'>\n\t\t\t\tRoll\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3482-1-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3015'>\n\t\t\t\tRocket\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/joburg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_3483-1-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3016'>\n\t\t\t\tTomato &#038;
