Method

Cooking the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Form the ground beef into a loose ball (about 8 oz) and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burger

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Once hot, place the beef ball on the skillet and smash it down with a spatula to form a patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crust forms, then flip and add a slice of Swiss cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reach desired doneness.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, sauté the truffled wild mushrooms over medium heat until they are golden brown.

  2. 4

    Make the Avocado Aioli

    In a bowl, mash the avocado with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Build the Burger

    On the brioche roll, spread a generous amount of avocado aioli. Layer with lettuce, tomato slice, the cooked burger with cheese, red onion rings, and sautéed mushrooms.

  2. 6

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the Bella Burger with a side of signature fries.
