Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef preferably 80% lean
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil high-quality
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 pieces brioche buns toasted
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup arugula fresh
Instructions
- Prepare the mushroom topping by heating the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the mushrooms with a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and the truffle oil. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Form the ground beef into four equal patties, lightly pressing them to be slightly larger than the bun diameter to accommodate shrinkage during cooking. Season each side with sea salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat. Cook each patty for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese atop each patty, allowing it to melt.
- Toast the brioche buns on the grill or griddle until golden brown and crisp.
- Assemble the burger by placing a handful of arugula on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheese-topped patty. Add the truffle mushroom mixture, then crown with the top bun.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider mixing a small amount (around 1 tablespoon) of truffle oil into the ground beef before forming the patties. If Swiss cheese isn't to your taste, Gruyère makes an excellent alternative.
