What is a gourmet burger?  

The Cambridge Dictionary definition of the word “gourmet” is “(of food) very high quality”, “producing or serving food that is very high quality” “noun – a person who knows a lot about food and cooking, and who enjoys eating high-quality food”.

Now when you apply this to a burger recipe you can elevate it to gourmet level by applying each of the following.

  • Beef Patties – Sourcing the best ground beef available as this enhances flavour.
  • Seasoning – How you flavour your burger patty will take it to the next level compared to your standard fast food burger.
  • Toppings – more than just ketchup and some cheese for a gourmet burger! Additional ingredients such as grilled bacon, caramelised onions, avocado, various varieties or cheese, chilli jam etc will enhance the taste and textures within the burger.
  • Method of cooking the burger – grilling, cast iron skillet cooking, smoking, sous vide, oven baking
  • What type of burger buns? – More flavourful and sometimes homemade bun varieties are often found in gourmet burger recipes such as; Brioche buns, Ciabatta buns, English Muffin, Kaiser Rolls, Onion Rolls, Potato buns, Pretzel Rolls, Sesame Seed Buns. More contemporary, non-traditional, low carb and keto buns include; lettuce buns and avocado buns.

What ingredients do you to make a gourmet bacon avocado burger?

  • Ground beef – 70% Meat to 30% Fat for the best ratio, lean mince will give you a dry and less tastier
  • Edam Cheese
  • Lettuce
  • Beef Tomato
  • Avocado
  • A smoked bacon rashers
  • Red onion
  • Vegetable oil
  • Seasonings – Salt, pepper, garlic powder

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS

Here are a few basic kitchen tools you will need to make these recipes:

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Kitchen scales

How to make beef burgers from ground mince?

Smash burger technique

The American smash burger technique requires the ground beef to be rolled into a large meatball shape, then placed into a hot flat top grill or skillet and finally smashed downward with a large kitchen spatula. This creates a rough edge beef patty with an incredible grilled crust on each side of the burger.

Burger patty with a dent in the middle method

This method ensures the burger cooks evenly, remains flat and keeps its shape rather the seize into a ball shape whist cooking. Simply mold the ground beef into a burger shape, then use your thumb to softly make a small dent in the middle, ensuring not to go all the way through the burger. Do not squeeze the mince to close together as this negetivily effect the juiciness of the burger.

Burger press / molds

There are presses and molds to help get the perfect shape and depth for a burger. Some even allow for you to stuff cheese in the middle to make a classic “ Juicy Lucy” burger.

How long do homemade burgers take to cook?

The length of time it takes for a burger to cook will depend on the method of cooking and the size/thickness of the beef patty. Another consideration to take into account is whether you would like the burger to be well done, medium rare etc.  as cooking times will vary for this.

This bacon avocado burger is cooked via a skillet (you could also use a frying pan or flat top grill).  The cooking time will vary between 2-3 minutes on each in this recipe.

  • raw burger in skillet cooking
  • beef burger patty cooking in the cast iron skillet

How to put cheese on a burger?

The perfect melted cheese on a gourmet burger is everything! Here is some tips on how and when to add your cheese to the burger patties.

  1. Add the cheese on top of the burger patties whilst in the hot skillet. You should do this once you have already flipped the burger over and its essentially cooked on each side.
  2. Turn off your stove/cooker and let the residual heat from the pan/skillet melt the cheese.
  3. For extra gooey melted cheese, splash a little water into the hot pan/skillet after placing the cheese on top of the burger. Then cover the pan with a lid for a few seconds. This creates a steamy environment in the pan/skillet which helps add additional moisture to the cheese, resulting in an extra juicy cheese layer.

  • cheese melting over the beef patty in the cast iron skillet

How to make crispy bacon in the oven?

Oven grilled bacon is a great cooking method to achieve a super crispy bacon rasher.  Grilled bacon is a perfect burger topping to add a burst of flavour and crispy texture. Crispy bacon is also amazing crumbled over salad when cooked using this method.

  1. Place bacon rashers onto a grill rack with a drip tray beneath it, ensure the bacon is spaced out
  2. Grill in an oven /broiler until crispy, use a medium heat to allow time for the bacon to cook and dehydrate slightly, without burning. The combination of letting the excess fat drip onto the drip tray and medium heat will result in an amazingly crispy bacon rashers.

How to make bacon avocado ground beef burgers?

  • Pre heat your oven grill/broiler. Place the bacon rashes onto an oven rack, add a drip oven tray to the bottom also to collect the excess fat. Grill at a low heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy.
  • Pre heat a skillet or frying pan to a high heat, do not add any oil yet. Also, pre heat a gridle pan for the brioche burger buns or alternatively toast on top of a toaster.
  • Shape the beef burger patties using your hands, they should be approximately 1 inch thick. Place the burgers onto a plate. Then use your thumb and apply pressure to dent a small dip in the centre of the burgers, this ensures the burger remains flat whilst sautéing in a pan.
  • Prepare all the burger toppings so you are ready to assemble as soon as the beef patties are ready. Lightly grill/toast the sliced brioche buns
  • Add a generous amount of oil to line the skillet, then immediately add in 1 or two patties maximum. The oil will be extremely hot/ Smoky so take care when doing so. Season the top side of the burgers with a pinch of salt pepper and garlic powder. Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, add additional time for a well-done burger. Ensure to season the over side of the burger once flipped over. The burger should have a dark brown crust on either side to achieve maximum char-grilled style flavour.
  • Place a slice of cheese on the burger whilst the patty is still in the skillet. Now turn off the stove, the cheese will melt with the residual heat in the pan/skillet.
  • Now assemble your gourmet burger stack! I like to start with the base of the grilled brioche, Ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, the burger Pattie, avocado, bacon and then top with the over half of the brioche bun.

Handy recipe tips for making bacon avocado burgers

Burger patty size – Use kitchen scales to equally weigh out the patties to ensure they are the same size and have even cooking times

Cheese – you can use your preferred cheese of choice edam is quite mild in strength, a cheddar cheese or American style cheese would equally work quite well.

Cooking the burger patties – the pan/skillet gets extremely smoky so ensure your kitchen extractor fan is turned on or open a window to let out the excess smoke 😊

Can I freeze homemade burgers?

Homemade burgers are great as you can make them ahead of time and store in the fridge or even freeze them. You can freeze them individually by putting them into a freezer bag or place them on a cling film/plastic wrap lined tray. They can keep up to 3 months in the freezer.

How long does a frozen burger take to the defrost?

When you’re ready to cook the frozen beef burger patties, them take out the freezer and defrost at room temperature. This can take between 30-60 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the burger patty.

#pizza  #pizzarecipe #bbqchickenpizza #easyrecipe
Sweet & spicy pepperoni pizza 🍯🌶️ on a piz Sweet & spicy pepperoni pizza 🍯🌶️ on a pizza stone — no pizza oven, just BIG flavor. Recipe below! ⬇️ Easy Pizza School starts here.

Ingredients
Pizza dough ball @allinsonsbread 
Pizza sauce @muttipomodorouk 
(Recipes videos for both are on my page 😊)

Pepperoni & salami
Jalapenos
Honey @rowsehoneyuk 
Mozzarella (low moisture if possible) 
Parmesan cheese 
Fresh basil
Freshly cracked black pepper
Burrata cheese
Extra Virgin olive oil @filippoberio_uk 
 

Take the pizza dough out of the fridge and leave the rest in a warm area/cupboard for 2 hours. After the first hour preheat your oven to its max setting, with the pizza stone inside on the highest shelf.  For reference my fan oven goes up to 270°C / 518°F .

Whilst the dough is rising, prep your topping ingredients and pizza sauce. Clean down a work surface and mix together equal parts of bread flour and fine semolina, for dusting. You can also just use fine semolina.

Flour your surface and hands: Lightly dust your counter, dough, and hands with flour.

Flatten the dough: Gently press the dough into a flat disc, working from the center out.

Stretch the dough: Lift and stretch using your knuckles or fingertips until it’s 10–12 inches wide.

Dust the peel: Sprinkle semolina on the pizza peel to prevent sticking.

Transfer and test: Place the dough on the peel and give it a small shake—if it moves freely, you’re ready to add toppings!

 Place a thin layer of pizza sauce & grated parmesan onto the dough, quickly, then use the peel to side the pizza onto the pizza stone. Bake for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the mozzarella, peperoni, salami, jalapenos and a drizzle of olive oil. 

Place the pizza back onto the pizza peel and bake for a further 3 minutes. You can also use the broiler/grill setting for the last minute.

Take the pizza out of the oven and top with burrata, chopped basil, honey, grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. Slice and enjoy!

🍕 Pizza School: Episode 1 - Batch Pizza Dough r 🍕 Pizza School: Episode 1 - Batch Pizza Dough recipe! 

Ingredients 

- @allinsonsbread Time saver yeast or “instant (also called quick-rise or fast-rising) yeast” - 11 grams

- @allinsonsbread Very strong bread flour - 1Kg

- Extra virgin olive oil - 2 x tablespoons + extra for greasing @filippoberio_uk 

- Warm water - 840ml (millilitres) 

- Salt- 20g 

1) Mix together the dry ingredients into a large bowl (flour + salt and then mix in the yeast)

2) Measure out 840ml of warm water (approximately 40°C). The water should be luke warm and not too hot. Pour the water into a very large bowl and add two tablespoons of olive oil.

3) Add the dry ingredients into the warm water and oil mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to stir until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl with a warm/damp cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm area in your house/kitchen.

4) Stretch and fold: after the first 30 minute rise, wet your hands with warm water and begin to stretch and fold the dough in a circular motion around the bowl. Cover the bowl with the dump kitchen towel and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm area. Repeat this process again and leave to rest for another 30 minutes. The dough will be sticky but don’t worry!

5) The dough should have doubled in size and you will see lots of air bubbles. With your hands and punch the air out of the dough. Lightly grease two large oven trays and a small plate (for your measuring scale). Pour out the dough onto one of the greased trays.

6) For individual 12 to 14 inch pizzas, divide the dough into 260g - 270g portions and place onto the empty tray (for large sheet pan pizzas, just divide the dough into two large pieces in total).

7) One by one stretch and fold the portions of dough on a floured surface. Flip over the dough, the surface should be a bit smoother on this side, then use the palm of your hand to cup and scrape the dough in circular motions to form a uniform dough ball shape. Use a bench scraper to help with this, if you have one.

Steps 8 & 9 will be pinned in the comments ⬇️☺️

cooking and style” Fei Xie, Head Chef at @pandas_kitchen.london 

Have you ever eaten a meal at a restaurant that changed your brain chemistry? So good that you had to go back the very next day and order your favourite dishes because the flavours were so sensational…… Well that’s what happened to me when I visited Pandas Kitchen Angel.

I love Chinese food as a whole, however I’ll be honest I’m not that familiar with each of the regional differences in the cuisine. I love to explore and expand my palette when trying foods from other cultures. So I definitely enjoyed spending the day learning more and eating with the kind team at @pandas_kitchen.london 

My two favourite dishes? 

🔵Salt & Peppers Chilli Squid, 椒盐鲜鱿- a burst of flavour in the seasoning spice and lightly battered squid. So fluffy and light in texture. A DREAM!

🔵Chong Qing Noodles,  重庆小面- a bowl of comfort to put it simply. The gentle numbing spice, soft noodles and bags of aromatic flavours in the cooking broth were incredible. I love BOLD flavours and this did NOT disappoint.

I love speaking to chefs and the teams Behind The Line in restaurants. So follow me for even more stories about the amazing chefs that make your food in London and beyond…..

RECIPE ⬇️ Easy 6 Ingredient Wingstop Original RECIPE ⬇️ Easy 6 Ingredient Wingstop Original Hot sauce 🔥 This is incredibly easy to make! Spicy, buttery and tangy flavour profiles! Pair with blue cheese sauce 👌🏾

Ingredients:
@franksredhot_uk hot sauce (original) - 300ml
Honey - 2 tablespoons 
Unsalted butter - 80g
Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon 
Onion powder - 1 teaspoon 
Smoked Paprika @schwartz.uk - 1 teaspoon

1) Place the butter into a small pan/pot, the heat should be set to a low to medium heat gauge on your stove.

2) Once the butter is melted whisk in the onion powder, garlic powder and paprika.

3) Once the spices are incorporated into the butter, pour in the franks red hot sauce and whisk/stir. Simmer on low for 5 minutes, then remove from the stove to cool.

4) Store the sauce in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. 

Tip 💡 The sauce will solidify slightly once refrigerated so it’s best to store in a container rather than a bottle. 

Tip💡 You can the scoop as much as sauce as you need, reheat gently and pour over your final dish e.g wings, tenders, chicken sandwich etc 

Tip💡The consistency and flavour of this original hot sauce is rich and velvety. For a thinner consistency gradually add water as you reduce the sauce in the pan.  Taste for seasonings.
