Blue Cheese Burgers
Before we actually read this recipe in detail, we thought 'Do we really need a recipe for a blue cheese burger?' As it turns out... This isn't your ordinary blue cheese burger! The sauce is the perfect blend of blue cheese, rosemary, and mayo. If you're anything like us, you'll be looking for an excuse to dollop this sauce on absolutely anything!
Equipment
- 2 Small Bowls
- Griddle or Small Frying Pan
- Stovetop Or use a grill or smoker!
Ingredients
Blue Cheese & Rosemary Mayo
- ¼ C Mayonnaise
- 1 ½ Oz Strong Blue Cheese (Such as A Gorgonzola Naturale) Room Temperature
- 1 Tsp Red Wine Vinegar
- ½ Tsp Rosemary Finely Chopped
- ¼ Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
- 1 Pinch Sugar
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Burgers
- ¼ lb Ground Beef Brisket (Or your favorite burger blend)
- 1 Tbsp Raw Grated Onion
- 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ Tsp Finely Chopped rosemary
- ½ Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ Tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Grapeseed or Other High-Heat Oil For Brushing
- 1 Small Handful Arugula
- 1 Brioche Bun Sliced in Half and Toasted
- French Fries or Potato Chips For Serving
Instructions
Blue Cheese & Rosemary Mayo
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cheese, vinegar, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, sugar, and pepper. If not using right away, keep in an airtight container in the fridge (the rosemary flavor will become more pronounced as it sits!).
Burgers
- In a small bowl, gently mix the beef, onion, Worcestershire, rosemary, cinnamon, cumin, salt, and pepper until just combined. Form into a single patty, about the size of your burger bun, making sure to press a shallow indentation in the center so it stays flat when you sear it.
- Brush the patty with some oil and plop onto a hot griddle or small frying pan (Or grill/smoke!). Cook for 3 minutes on one side, then turn and continue to cook for about 2 minutes more (an instant-read thermometer should read 145°F for medium rare and 160°F for medium). Let rest for about 5 minutes.
- To assemble, arrange a healthy pile of arugula on the bottom bun, then the warm patty (which will wilt the arugula slightly) followed by the top bun, which should be smeared generously with the blue cheese mayo.
- Eat with french fries or potato chips and a cold beer!
