Signature Coastal Burger* Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the sweet onion and cook in a skillet over medium heat with a little oil for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Wild Mushroom Demi Glace

   In the same skillet, add the wild mushrooms and sauté until soft. Add the beef broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In a separate pan, cook the cherrywood smoked bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

4. 4

   Form and Cook the Burgers

   Form the ground beef into two patties, season with salt and black pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of aged white cheddar on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Prepare the Bacon Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, and crumbled cooked bacon. Adjust seasoning as needed.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spread the bacon aioli on the bottom bun, add lettuce, burger patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, tomato slices, dill pickle chips, and top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the Coastal Burger with house fries, pasta salad, or a fruit medley on the side.
