Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 oz soft goat cheese
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and crumble once cooled.
In a small saucepan, combine cherry tomatoes, butter, rosemary, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a jam-like consistency, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with lemon zest until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, making a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface with olive oil. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust to your preference. Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of tomato rosemary jam on the bottom bun, place a burger patty on top, then add a dollop of lemon goat cheese. Sprinkle with bacon crumbles, add a handful of arugula, and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy this masterpiece bursting with flavor.
