Ingredients
2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt
freshly ground pepper
8 slice of thick-cut bacon
3 lb mixed ground chuck and ground sirloin
12 oz brie, sliced
8 brioche burger bun, split
6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt
freshly ground pepper
8 slice of thick-cut bacon
3 lb mixed ground chuck and ground sirloin
12 oz brie, sliced
8 brioche burger bun, split
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the onions with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and roast until softened, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderately high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and break each strip in half.
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Form the ground meat into eight patties. Season generously with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Grill over moderately high heat until well-browned on the bottom, 5 minutes. Flip the burgers, mound the brie on top and grill for 4 minutes longer, until the cheese is slightly melted and the burgers are medium-rare.
- Spread the lemon mayonnaise on the cut sides of the buns; set the burgers on the bottoms and top with the bacon and onions. Close the burgers and serve right away.
