Isn't Gorgonzola grand? Honestly, it just might be my favorite cheese, of course, name any other cheese, and you're likely to get the exact same sentiments!
I loved these burgers, they were so juicy and full of flavor, just look at all of those chunks of Gorgonzola!
On my bun, rather then mayo, I spread a nice layer of avocado on each side. A little salt and pepper, a little more Gorgonzola for good measure, and VOILA! Of course, a nice slice of tomato and red onion would have been magical too, but someone (me) was too lazy to fetch them at the market. Fortunately this will not be the last time I make these burgers!
Gorgonzola Burgers
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (I like to use lean, but any fat percentage would be fine)
2-3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 cup crumbled Gorganzola cheese, and extra to sprinkle on top
4 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
4 hamburger buns
avocado
red onion
tomato
Directions
Combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, cheese, garlic and salt and pepper until completely combined (just dig in with your hands, don't be shy). Shape into four equally sized patties. With these particular burgers I liked it grilled well done, so that the meat is cooked through and cheese is melty. Place in bun, add condiments, most importantly your extra Gorganzola! Enjoy!
I do love Gorgonzola! I don't often buy specialty cheeses since they cost more. I did buy some Havarti the other day and I was in heaven. Cheddar gets so boring!
ReplyDeleteYummy burgers!
I need to buy me some gorgonzola! It's been a while since I've had some of it. Got any more of those burgers? =)
ReplyDeleteYou sold me on gorgonzola. I am definately going to have to try this . . . we are boring and stick to less exciting cheeses! I need to branch out!
ReplyDeleteI think I want to live at our house! That looks out of this world and that potato salad...yummmm

ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of gorgonzola but melt it in a burger or in pasta and I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteMmmm mmmm. Wish I had this recipe a couple weeks ago, when I was trying to get through my big ol' hunk of Gorgonzola. I posted a bunch of recipes I did try, though. Best one was a blue cheese sauce that goes over steak or baked potatoes. I'm printing your burger recipe out, so I'll be ready next time! Thanks for sharing.
