Description
Juicy beef patties topped with melted Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and onions on buttery brioche buns. A gourmet twist on the classic cheeseburger with a rich umami flavor profile.
Ingredients
Ground beef (1 lb, 80/20 fat ratio)
Swiss cheese (4 slices, thin)
Mushrooms (1 cup, cremini or button, sliced)
Yellow onion (1 large, thinly sliced)
Unsalted butter (2 tbsp)
Worcestershire sauce (1 tsp)
Salt and pepper
Brioche buns (4)
Ground turkey (1 lb, optional substitute)
Provolone/Gruyere cheese (optional substitutes)
Instructions
1. Heat skillet over medium heat; sauté onions with 1 tsp butter until translucent
2. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until excess liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes
3. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties, seasoning with salt
4. Heat cast iron skillet on medium-high; sear patties for 2-3 minutes per side
5. Add thin slice of Swiss cheese to each patty and let melt
6. Toast buns in pan
7. Layer patties with mushroom/onion mixture and Worcestershire sauce
Notes
For best caramelization, cook mushrooms at 350°F
Brioche buns resist sogginess due to high butter content
Let patties rest 2 minutes before serving to preserve juices
Substituting ground turkey lowers fat content significantly
