1
Prepare the Bison Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground bison, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bison patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of fontina cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
4
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Spread garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked bison patty with melted fontina on top, followed by a generous handful of arugula and a spoonful of pickled onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
