For the Burger:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 burger buns
- 8 ounces Camembert cheese, sliced
- 1 tablespoon apple butter
For the Onion Tatin:
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
How to make Apple Butter Camembert Burger :
Prepare the Onion Tatin:In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Stir in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Patties:In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Cook the Burgers:Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the patties with apple butter and place a slice of Camembert on each burger to melt.
Assemble the Burgers:Toast the burger buns if desired. Layer the bottom half of each bun with a generous spoonful of the onion tatin, followed by the burger patty topped with melted Camembert. Add any additional toppings you like (lettuce, tomato, etc.) and place the top bun on.
Serve:Serve the burgers hot, garnished with fresh thyme if using, and enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
Recipe Notes :
Cheese Alternatives: Swap Camembert for Brie or another soft cheese if preferred.
Additions: Consider adding arugula or spinach for a fresh touch.
Storage: Leftover burgers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
