📝 Ingredients

• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80% lean)
• Truffle salt or kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 slices brie cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 garlic clove, minced

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- For the burgers: ---
2. 2Divide the meat into four equal potions. Form each portion loosely into a disk shape, making a deep impression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger to taste with salt and pepper.
3. 3Prepare and preheat a grill, grill pan, or cast iron griddle. Cook the burgers until slightly charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. If using very fresh and high quality ground beef, feel free to cook to medium or medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the burgers from the heat and add the brie cheese. Tent with aluminum foil and allow the burgers to rest for 5 minutes, or until the juices are redistributed and the cheese is melted.
4. 4--- For the garlic mayonnaise: ---
5. 5Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
6. 6--- To finish: ---
7. 7Top each burger with arugula and caramelized onions. Spread garlic mayo on each burger bun and sandwich the burgers. Serve immediately.
