1
Prepare the Olive Sauce
Chop the Spanish Queen olives finely. In a bowl, mix the chopped olives with olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the olive sauce. Set aside.
2
Form the Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and form into burger patties.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of muenster cheese on each patty to melt.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
5
Assemble the Burgers
On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cheesy beef patty, and a generous spoonful of the olive sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the Michigan Olive Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
