These gourmet bleu cheese-stuffed burgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a creamy bleu cheese center and a tangy sauce.
Combine the ground beef, egg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Use a flat surface and wax paper to make uniform patties.
Place a small amount of bleu cheese in the center of 4 patties, then top with the remaining patties, sealing the edges well.
Ensure the edges are sealed to prevent the cheese from leaking during cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the burgers for 2 minutes on each side.
Searing helps lock in the juices and adds a flavorful crust.
Transfer the burgers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Mix mayonnaise, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl to make the sauce.
Adjust the seasoning to taste for a personalized flavor.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, adding a slice of tomato, a lettuce leaf, and a dollop of sauce, then topping with the other half of the bun.
Toast the buns for added texture and flavor.
Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with a fresh salad or crispy fries for a complete meal.
