Walnuts and Gorgonzola are a classic flavor pairing. Here this dynamic duo shine in irresistible mini-burgers! Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil |
4 slices bacon, finely chopped |
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots |
2 cups finely chopped button mushrooms |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 pound ground beef (10% fat) |
4 ounces gorgonzola (or blue cheese), divided into 16 portions |
32 california walnut halves |
16 small dinner rolls |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and saute bacon until just cooked but not crisp.
2. Add shallots and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
3. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and egg to mixture. Add beef and gently mix by hand until all ingredients are incorporated, without over-mixing.
4. Divide mixture into 16 equal portions. Form into thick patties, about 1-1/2 inches thick and 2-1/2 inches in diameter, tucking a piece of cheese and 2 walnut halves into the centre of each patty.
5. Grill patties on medium-high heat until cooked to preferred doneness. Serve in small dinner rolls or between baguette slices with desired condiments.
