How To Make mushroom swiss burger
The caramelized onions and mushrooms
1. Slice the onion in half and remove the outer layers.
Cut the tops off, then slice into 1/4” slices starting from the top. Slice down to the roots.
2. With a damp paper towel wipe 8oz mushrooms clean.
Slice about 1/4” thick.
3. Heat a medium size frying pan over high heat until hot.
Add the butter (1 Tbsp) when melted add the onions and sugar (1 tsp). Reduce heat to medium. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions begin to brown.
4. Add the mushrooms, soy sauce (2 tsp) and pepper (a few grinds about 1/4 tsp). Sauté another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
Tip: After you add the mushrooms keep the heat high enough to evaporate most the water.
Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm until ready to use.
The beef patties
1. Preheat grill on high heat.
2. Crumble 1 lb ground beef into a mixing bowl.
Add the seasonings (1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, & 1/4 tsp onion powder). Carefully mix to combine, taking care not to overwork the meat or it will become tough.
3. Divide into 4 portions about 4 oz each. Shape into patties, making them slightly bigger then your buns.
4. Place patties on the grill, reduce heat to medium to medium/high. Grill covered for 2-3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low, top each patty with a slice of cheese. Let melt (about 1 minute). Remove patties, keep covered until ready to use.
The BBQ mayo
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. (1/3 c mayo, 2 Tbsp bbq sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce).
The fried eggs
1. Heat a large frying pan until hot. Add the butter (1 Tbsp) melt and distribute evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Reduce heat to low. Carefully crack your eggs into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Cover and cook 1-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are to your desired doneness.
Note: These burgers are best with a yolk that is thickened but still runny.
Assemble
1. Spread some sauce on the bottom bun, add:
2. Caramelized onions and mushrooms
3. Patty with cheese
4. Arugula
5. Fried egg
6. More sauce and top bun
Now the best part! Eat it, before I do!
