Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 buns Brioche buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 8 slices Tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until soft and fragrant.

Step 2

While the garlic is roasting, heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Squeeze the softened roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash them, then mix thoroughly into the beef.

Step 4

Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

Step 5

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the final minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns in a dry skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a small amount of the mashed roasted garlic to create a garlic aioli.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading garlic aioli on both sides of the toasted brioche buns. Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad, and enjoy your gourmet garlic burgers!
