Blue Cheese Burger
An American pub burger of a seared 80/20 ground beef patty cooked to medium and topped with crumbled blue cheese that softens against the hot meat. Built on a toasted brioche bun with buttery caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, and tomato. The sharp, funky cheese plays against rich, salty beef and sweet onion.

Instructions
1
Prep
Shape the beef into one patty wider than the bun, season both sides with salt and pepper, and dimple the center.
2
Saute
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced onion 8 minutes, stirring often, until soft, golden, and sweet.
3
Sear
Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high and sear the patty 3 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and sides lose their pink.
4
Melt
Pile the blue cheese on the patty, cover the skillet, and cook 1 minute over medium heat until the cheese slumps and turns glossy.
5
Plate
Toast the brioche bun cut-side down, then build with lettuce, tomato, the cheesy patty, and caramelized onions, and cap with the top bun.
