Artichoke and Brie Burgers
Serves:
2
Ingredients
12 oz
ground beef, 90/10
3/4
tsp kosher salt, or to taste
1/4
tsp black pepper, or to taste
1/8
tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
2-1/2
tsp dried basil, divided
1 (15
oz) can artichokes, drained(squeeze the excess liquid out) and chopped fine
2
Tbsp olive oil
3
tsp garlic, minced
Cayenne pepper, to taste
6
slices Brie cheese
2 hamburger
buns, halved
Mayonnaise
Directions
In a
bowl, combine artichokes, olive oil, garlic, and 2 tsp basil; mix thoroughly. Season with salt and cayenne pepper and set aside. This will make more artichoke spread than you need.
In another
bowl, combine beef, salt, peppers and 1/2 tsp basil; mix thoroughly. Form into
patties a little larger than the buns. Make the patty thinner in the middle
than at the edges for even cooking. The burgers will plump as they cook.
Preheat
the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the burgers, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers
and cook another 2 minutes.
Top each
burger with 1 to 2 Tbsp artichoke mixture and 3 slices of brie. Cook another 2
minutes or until cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired
doneness.
Meanwhile,
spread each cut side of the hamburger bun with a very thin layer of mayonnaise.
Place on the grill just to toast about 1 minute; watch carefully, remove when
you see grill marks.
To
assemble; place the burgers on the roll bottoms, and set the roll tops in
place. Enjoy!

small round Brie cheese
1/3
cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

tsp minced garlic
1/4
tsp chopped basil
1 tsp
olive oil

With
a sharp knife, slice the Brie horizontally to form two rounds. Fit the bottom
half into a greased baking dish not much bigger than the Brie itself.
