Burger Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the grass-fed ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them. Top each patty with 2 oz of white cheddar cheese and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the beef reaches your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 3

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add the Fixings

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a couple of onion slices. Add the cooked beef patty with melted cheddar cheese on top. Finish with pickles and the top half of the bun.

Optional Add-ons

  1. 5

    Add Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces and place on top of the burger before adding the top bun.

  2. 6

    Add Bacon

    Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and place on top of the burger before adding the top bun.

  3. 7

    Add Fried Egg

    In the same skillet, crack an egg and cook until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Place the fried egg on top of the burger before adding the top bun.
