Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns Brioche buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic is roasting, heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Squeeze the softened roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash them, then mix thoroughly into the beef.
Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns in a dry skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a small amount of the mashed roasted garlic to create a garlic aioli.
Assemble the burgers by spreading garlic aioli on both sides of the toasted brioche buns. Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad, and enjoy your gourmet garlic burgers!
