Brie Stuffed Burgers

What is better than a big, juicy burger? How about one stuffed with Brie cheese? In my opinion, there is no other cheese quite like Brie. It is creamy, a little tangy and salty. It is just about perfect! Thankfully, I had over 1/2 a wheel left from Thanksgiving and decided there would be no better way to use it up then stuffing it inside a nice big burger.
If you have never tried Brie, I encourage you to give it a shot. It is really delicious and especially now thanks to “Big Box” stores like Sams and Costco, you can get a huge wheel of brie for about 5 or 6 bucks. If you have tried Brie and it isn’t for you, this recipe can be made with any other cheese you like. You could try Gruyère, Gouda, mozzarella or Monterey jack. Whatever you prefer! I love Brie but I am also showing you the method, so choose the cheese you like!

Enjoy!

Brie Stuffed Burgers

1.25 lbs ground beef (I use ground chuck)
2 cloves of garlic peeled
1 tablespoon of pesto
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon grill seasoning (I use Montreal Seasoning)
1 egg
3 teaspoons seasoned breadcrumbs
4-6 oz brie, chilled

In a large bowl combine beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, grill seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce. Then using a microplane or using the small holes of a box grater, grate garlic into beef mixture. Gently mix, but do not overmix, it will make the meat tough. Next divide the meat into 8 equal sized balls. To assemble each burger, you will need to turn each beef ball into a patty, next lay 3-4 slices of brie on the bottom patty, then layer the second beef patty on top of the brie and pinch the sides to seal the brie in to the burger. Repeat until all burgers are assembled.
Next, in a large pan that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray, heat over medium high heat. Add patties and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Turn the heat down to medium and flip after 3-4 minutes. After you have flipped the burger, cover and finish cooking 3-4 minutes. If you like a burger that is well done, you may need to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side. If you want to be over indulgent like myself, melt a few extra pieces of brie on the burger before serving on a nice toasty bun. 🙂
