Burger Ingredients

Mushrooms and Onions

Truffle Aioli

Method

Prepare the Aioli

  1. 1

    Make Truffle Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Cook the Onions and Mushrooms

  1. 2

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized (about 15-20 minutes). Add sliced mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and sauté until mushrooms are tender (about 5-7 minutes).

Cook the Burger

  1. 3

    Prepare and Cook the Burger Patties

    Form ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season each side with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of fontina cheese on each patty to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 4

    Build the Taverna Burger

    Toast brioche rolls lightly. On the bottom half of each roll, spread a generous amount of truffle aioli, place the burger patty with melted cheese, top with sautéed onions and mushrooms, and a handful of arugula. Cap with the top half of the roll and serve immediately.
