Melty Monterey Jack Burgers

with Red Onion Jam and Zucchini Fries

Recipe Development TeamPublished on November 15, 2017

There are a lot of burger recipes out there, we know. But because of its oozy, melty Monterey Jack cheese and jammy balsamic onions, we like to think that this is the burger that tops all burgers (it’s in the HelloFresh Hall of Fame, after all). Oh, and we should mention that this patty comes with zucchini fries on the side, so you can get your fix of crispy, crunchy finger foods and some veg all in one.

Instructions

Preheat and Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mince or grate garlic until you have ½ tsp (you’ll have a clove left over). Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Cut zucchini into 3-inch long sections, then halve each piece lengthwise. Cut halves into thin wedges.

Make Aioli
2

In a small bowl, mix together 3 TBSP mayonnaise (we sent more) and as much of the garlic as you like (start with a pinch and go up from there). Season with salt and pepper.

Make Onion Jam
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until nicely browned, 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally. Stir in balsamic vinegar and 2 tsp sugar. Continue cooking until syrupy, 1-2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside in another small bowl. Wash out pan.

Make Zucchini Fries
4

While onion is cooking, toss together zucchini and 1 TBSP aioli in a medium bowl until wedges are evenly coated. Add panko, oregano, and a large pinch of salt and pepper and toss so that crumbs stick to zucchini. Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake in oven until panko is golden brown, about 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. TIP: It’s OK if not all the breadcrumbs stick.

Cook Burgers
5

Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan you cooked onion in over medium-high heat. Shape beef into four patties (make them slightly wider than the buns). Season with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook until burgers almost reach desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. Top with cheese. Cover pan and continue cooking until cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Finish and Serve
6

While burgers cook, split buns in half and place on another baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden, about 3 minutes. Spread ketchup and remaining aioli onto buns. Fill each with a burger and as much onion jam as you like. Serve with zucchini fries on the side.
