I love a good burger — especially when it’s as juicy and flavorful as these grilled premium burgers. They’re perfect for the summer months when I prefer being outside by the grill all day.
What makes this burger special is the caramelized onions. They add a sweet depth that really elevates the flavor of the meat.
Choosing the right bun is also essential, and I prefer brioche for its light, buttery taste. Cheese finally gets its fair share of attention with a slice of cheddar melting deliciously over the patty.
This can be adapted to different seasons by swapping out supportive elements like the cucumbers for something more wintry like pickled beets.
Variants & Tips
- Vegetarian version: Replace the beef with 400 g mashed black beans, and add 1 egg as a binder.
- Extra luxury: Add 2 slices of crispy fried bacon to each burger for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with crispy sweet potato fries and aioli.
- A fresh cabbage salad with apple and carrot is a perfect match on the side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the burgers in a frying pan?
Yes, use a cast iron pan for best results. Sear on high heat to get a crust, then lower the heat to cook through.
How do I prevent the burgers from drying out?
Use ground beef with at least 15% fat and form gently so the meat isn’t packed too tightly.
Can I prepare something in advance?
Yes, the onions can be caramelized in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
What cheese can I use instead of cheddar?
A mild Jarlsberg or other meltable cheese works great.
Can I freeze finished burger patties?
Absolutely, shape them and wrap each patty in plastic wrap before freezing. It is best to thaw them in the fridge before grilling.
