Lamb Burgers with Brie and Quick Pickled Onions
Slice the onion as thin as you can - use a mandoline if you want! I've found with the Quick Pickled Red Onion and Melted Brie, there's no need for mustard or ketchup. You may prefer a little spread of mayo or butter on the bread.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup vinegar (rice vinegar, cider vinegar white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces brie cheese, sliced
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- Fill a small bowl with the vinegar, sugar plus 1/4 cup of water. Add in the red onion slices and let sit at room temperature while you complete rest of recipe.
- Season the ground lamb with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal sized patties. Heat a grill pan over high heat. When hot, add in the patties. Grill for 2 minutes, then flip the patties. Turn the heat to medium and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip again and cook an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on doneness preference. During the last 30 seconds of cooking, add the brie cheese slices on top of each burger.
- Serve the burgers with the quick pickled red onion, buns and tomato.
