Burger and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walla Walla Onion Jam

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sliced Walla Walla onions. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and cook for another 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Fire-Roasted Poblano Aioli

    Blend the fire-roasted poblano peppers with mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 3 equal portions and shape into 6 oz patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Tillamook aged white cheddar on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the brioche buns on the griddle until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the beef patty with melted cheddar, a slice of heirloom tomato, a generous spoonful of the Walla Walla onion jam, and a dollop of the fire-roasted poblano aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with a side of French fries.
