Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brioche buns, cut side down, and toast until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top. Add a layer of guacamole, followed by a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
