2. Mix together until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into round patties.
4. Place a spoonful of cheese in the center of each patty and then fold the patty in half, making sure to seal the edges so that the cheese won't leak out.
