Halve the charcoal burger buns. In a medium bowl, combine the beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, Aussie spice blend, egg, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using damp hands, shape the beef mixture into evenly sized patties (1 per person) slightly larger than your burger buns.

Grill the beef patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle over the smoked Cheddar cheese and cover with a lid or foil so the cheese melts. Transfer to a plate, cover to keep warm and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
