Cooking Steps

1

Combine pesto and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Halve buns. Form beef into two ½-inch-thick rounds; season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide half the cheese between each patty; gently fold meat around cheese to create cheese-stuffed patties, each slightly wider than a bun. Season with salt and pepper.

2

Heat a well-oiled grill to medium high, or heat a drizzle of oil in a grill pan or large pan over medium-high heat. Cook burgers to desired doneness (we suggest 3-5 minutes per side, but grills can vary). In the last 2 minutes of cooking, top patties with remaining cheese; cook until cheese melts. Add buns; toast until bread is golden. Spread tops of toasted buns with pesto aioli. Fill buns with burgers and serve.

  • Ease of prep: Stuffing the burgers with cheese was tricky for some; consider adding cheese on top for easier preparation.
  • Suggestions: Try adding lettuce, tomato, or panko for extra texture. Consider increasing the pesto sauce for more flavor impact.
