A marvelous recipe from "The Fast Gourmet Cookbook".  BUT, obey
the suggestion to use only the best ground beef or they turn out
tough.

"ROQUEBURGERS . . . At the London Chop House they use the trimmings
of prime aged beef to make their burgers.  Moral: Get good meat and
have it freshly ground.  To make 6 Roqueburgers, you will need 2-1/2
pounds chopped beef.  Stir in 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons finely chopped
onion, 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4
teaspoon pepper.  Form into 12 patties 1/2-inch thick.  For the
filling: blend together 1/4 pound Roquefort cheese or any other good
sharp blue cheese, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon Cognac.  Stir
until smooth, form into 6 balls.  Chill until needed.  Please each
ball between 2 patties.  Press edges firmly together.  Broil quickly
3 to 5 minutes on each side or to the doneness of your desire.
