Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two patties, each weighing 1/4 lb.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tomato and Onion

    In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and fry until golden brown. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, fry the tomato slices until slightly crispy on the edges. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns. Spread pimento cheese on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty, top with fried tomato, fried onion, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and a generous dollop of smoked tomato aioli. Place the top bun on and serve.
