Juicy burgers topped with creamy pimento cheese, fresh veggies, and served on toasted brioche buns – a delicious twist on a classic favorite.


Ingredients

Scale

For the patties:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For serving:

  • 4 brioche burger buns (toasted)
  • 1 cup pimento cheese (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  2. Form the patties: Divide beef into 4 portions, shape into 3/4 inch thick patties, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the patties: Drizzle oil on grill or skillet, cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness.
  4. Add pimento cheese: Top each patty with pimento cheese during the last minute of cooking, cover to melt.
