Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 medium leeks
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Prepare the Leeks: Wash leeks thoroughly under running water to remove grit. Slice thinly, separating white parts from green tops.
- Cook the Leeks: Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced leeks for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and soft.
- Form the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into four patties, about one inch thick.
- Grill or Pan-Fry: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
- Add Cheese: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- Assemble the Burgers: Toast brioche buns. Place one cheesy patty on each bottom half, top generously with sautéed leeks, and cover with the top bun.
- Serve: Enjoy your Spring Burger with crispy fries or a fresh salad!
