Tender, golden shallots lend a lovely sweetness to this classic cheeseburger. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
2 cups thinly sliced shallots |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 pound ground beef, 90% lean |
2 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup) |
1 cup baby arugula |
4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns, toasted |
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil; swirl to coat. Add shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; keep warm.
2. Gently combine garlic and beef. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions, gently shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Press a nickel-sized indentation in the center of each patty. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add patties, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheese; cover and cook 1 minute or until cheese melts.
4. Place 1/4 cup arugula on bottom half of each bun; top with 1 patty and one-fourth of shallots. Spread about 2 teaspoons mayonnaise on top half of each bun; place on top of burgers.
