Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, lightly mashed
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 4 slices of tomato
  • 4 tbsp garlic aioli

Directions

  1. 1

    Gently combine ground beef, mashed blueberries, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Form the mixture into 4 even-sized patties without packing them too tightly.

  3. 3

    Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding a slice of cheddar cheese in the last minute to melt.

  5. 5

    While the burgers cook, toast the brioche buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  6. 6

    Spread garlic aioli on both halves of each bun, then layer with lettuce, a tomato slice, and the burger patty. Serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Ensure blueberries are fresh for optimal flavor. Consider adding a splash of balsamic reduction for an extra layer of complexity.
