A delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger, featuring blue cheese and a touch of spice.
Heat half of the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the onions.
Add the chopped onion to the pan, cover, and cook until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and egg.
Use your hands to mix gently for a uniform texture.
Add the cooked onions, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture and mix well.
Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Shape the mixture into four equal patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the pan is evenly coated with oil.
Cook the patties in the pan for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until cooked through.
Flip the patties gently to maintain their shape.
Transfer the cooked patties to an ovenproof dish, top with blue cheese, and broil for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides.
Pair with a fresh salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.
