Blue Cheese Burgers with Crispy Fried Onion
Description
The recipe starts by preparing crispy fried onions cooked in butter until golden and caramelized. Burger patties are seasoned and grilled over high heat without pressing, ensuring a juicy texture. Blue cheese slices are melted over the patties during the final minutes of grilling. Toasting burger buns briefly on the grill adds a slight crunch and warmth.
Burgers are assembled by spreading mustard on the buns, layering fresh baby arugula or kale, tomato slices, the blue cheese-topped patty, and the crispy onions. The combination highlights the sharp, creamy blue cheese balanced by the sweet and crunchy onions along with fresh vegetables.
Leftover components should be stored separately to maintain freshness; patties keep refrigerated for a few days and can be reheated gently in the microwave or skillet. The onions can be enjoyed cold or reheated carefully to preserve their crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 onion sliced
- 4 burger buns
- 4 burger patties
- 4 blue cheese slices
- 2 large tomato sliced
- baby arugula or baby kale
- 4 tablespoon mustard sweet and spicy
Instructions
- Prepare your grill for cooking over high direct heat.
- In a large skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper, then cook until crispy.
- Make sure the grill is cleaned and hot before laying down the patties. You might also want to oil the grill first.
- Season the burger patties with remaining salt and pepper. Add the patties to the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side. DO NOT press on the patties while cooking.
- Lay a slice of blue cheese over each patty for the last 2 minutes of cooking. If you want to grill your burgers buns, add them to the grill now and don't leave them more than 30 seconds.
- Remove everything from grill and assemble the burgers. Spread 1 tbsp of mustard on the bun. Top with some baby arugula or kale, lay the burger patty, tomato slices, crispy onions and top bun.
Notes
- Store leftover burger components separately to maintain freshness until assembly.
- Patties keep up to 3-4 days refrigerated; reheat in microwave at 30-second intervals or covered skillet over medium heat.
- Crispy fried onions can be eaten cold or reheated gently in the microwave lined with paper towel to keep crispness.
