Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into a patty about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the white cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

Chili Aioli

    Mix Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili paste, and lemon juice. Mix until well-blended.

    Prepare the Bun

    Slice the brioche bun in half and lightly toast it on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    Spread a generous amount of the chili aioli on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked patty with melted white cheddar on top.

  3. 7

    Add Vegetables

    Layer the Jersey tomato slice, green leaf lettuce, and dill pickle slices on top of the patty.

  4. 8
