Burger Components

Garlic Basil Mayo

Method

Roasting Garlic

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    Drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft.

Making Garlic Basil Mayo

  1. 3

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, fresh basil, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

Preparing the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Beef

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 6

    Cook the Burgers

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 8

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread garlic basil mayo on the bottom bun, add lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, and onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
