Berner Meat Patties | With Mountain Cheese Wrapped in Bacon

Preheat the oven to 190 °C top/bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Peel and very finely dice the onion and the garlic clove. Heat the clarified butter in a pan and sauté the diced onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent, then let cool briefly. Cut the mountain cheese into 4 equal-sized, elongated sticks.

In a bowl, knead the mixed minced meat with the sautéed onions, the egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, rubbed marjoram, a pinch of salt, and plenty of freshly ground pepper until a homogeneous, smooth meat mixture forms. Since the bacon and mountain cheese are already salty, use salt sparingly.
