Meanwhile, to make the burgers, combine ground beef and egg. Season and shape into 8 patties. Fold cheese slices into quarters then place in the center of 4 patties. Top with remaining patties and press edges together to seal.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Lightly coat burgers and onion slices with olive oil. Cook for 4-5 mins per side, until burgers are cooked through, cheese is melted and onion is just tender.
To assemble, fill burger buns with lettuce, burgers, onion slices and beet compote. Serve with oven fries.
