Prepare the goat cheese croquette by flattening the goat cheese into a shape about the size of the bun.

Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with onion soup mix.

Coat the goat cheese in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.

Place the coated goat cheese croquette in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.

Form a half-pound patty from the ground beef, seasoning it with mustard and ensuring it is larger than the bun to account for shrinkage.

Heat a pan with butter and oil for flavor and cook the beef patty for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the goat cheese croquette to the pan to fry until golden brown.

Toast the bun in the pan alongside the cooking patty and croquette.

Assemble the burger with Japanese mayo, lettuce, the beef patty, and the fried goat cheese croquette.
