From Are You a Cheeseburger?
Jammed with cheese in the middle and a second layer of cheese on top, you’ll love the creaminess they bring to a burger. Topped with my favourite Chanterelle & Onion Jam and caramelized onions, bacon and a smoky bbq sauce, that’s one decadent burger!
Prep 20 minutes
Cook 10 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground sirloin beef
- 1 lb (450 g) ground lamb (or pork)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 small white onion, grated
- 1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) dried parsley
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 150 g package Caramelized Onion & Herb (or other favourite flavour) Boursin cheese
- 8 slices Abbot’s Gold Caramelised Onion Cheddar, cut ¼ inch (6 mm) thick
- 4 good-quality burger buns (like Brioche)
- Your favorite burger toppings like caramelized onions, bacon, bbq sauce
Method
- Preheat the barbecue or indoor grill to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, lamb (pork), garlic, onion, oregano, and parsley. Form thin 8 patties. On four of the patties, top 1 tbsp of Boursin cheese. Top this with a second patty and seal the two patties together around the edges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Grill the burger patties, flipping only once, for approximately 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). About 2 minutes before the burgers are done, top them with the cheddar cheese.
- Let the burgers rest for 1 minute off the heat, allowing the cheese to continue melting, and then place the burgers on the buns and dress appropriately.
