Method
- Preheat the grill.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. of oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 3 minutes or until the onion is tender. Remove from heat.

- Add patties; cook for 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove patties from pan; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle patties evenly with cheese. Place under the grill for 2 minutes or until cheese is softened.
- Combine canola mayonnaise and the remaining 2 teaspoons of mustard in a small bowl. Spread the top half of each of the remaining 4 buns with 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise mixture.
- Top each bottom half of the bun with 1 patty. Divide rocket evenly among burgers; top with top half of bun, mayonnaise-coated side down.
