Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 pieces brioche buns
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 oz camembert cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 cup caramelized onions
- 4 tbsp truffle aioli
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently shape into patties, being careful not to overwork the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In the preheated skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
4. In the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and top each with 2 oz of camembert cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt while cooking the second side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let the patties rest for 2 minutes.
5. While the burgers rest, toast the brioche buns. Spread unsalted butter on both cut sides of the buns and toast them in a clean skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
6. To assemble, spread 2 tbsp of truffle aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a generous handful of arugula, followed by the burger patty with melted camembert, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and a spoonful of caramelized onions.
7. Place the top bun over the assembled burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your indulgent Fancy Pants Burger!
