How about smash burger with bacon and blue cheese? Or perhaps this smash burger with onion rings and pickled cucumber? It's simply a matter of preference! Maybe you could put both on your menu and find out which one your customers like best? Our soft, tender Brioche Bun will make your burger sing!

Mise en place

< Max 24 hours in advance >

Thaw the Brioche Bun as directed on the packet.

< Min 1 hour in advance >

Pickle the cucumber in the white wine vinegar and sugar. Add pink peppercorns to taste.

Preparation

Make the onion rings: dip the onion in the corn starch, tap off the excess and deep fry (or bake in an air fryer/oven).
Make a ball with the mince, place on a hot griddle and smash with a spatula. Flip over and repeat. Season to taste with freshly ground salt and pepper.
Open the Brioche Bun and assemble your sandwich: spread mustard mayonnaise on both halves of your sandwich. Top with the (drained!) cucumber, burger, cheddar and onion rings.
Serve immediately!

Tips from the chef

Tip 1

"A smash burger should be made with minced beef with at least 15% fat. The fat is needed, so when you smash the burger it will fry nice and crispy.”

Tip 2

"You can create endless variations on this trendy recipe (as long as you use minced beef with at least 15% fat ;)). For example, why not try my smash burger with bacon and blue cheese?"

Tip 3

"Serve your smash burger solo or with a side dish such as fries, sweet potato and/or a green salad. You can also turn them into mini burgers with our mini brioche. Great for buffets or catering!"
