Euro Burger FAQs
The questions that come up most: how to cook the patty, what goes into the truffle mayo, cheese swaps, and what to serve with it.
How do you cook the patty?
Season the formed patties just before cooking and sear over high heat for a browned crust, flipping once. Cook ground beef to a safe internal 160°F, per the USDA.
What is the truffle mayo?
Mayonnaise blended with a little truffle oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Use a light hand with the truffle oil, since it is potent and can overwhelm the goat cheese.
Can you use a different cheese?
Goat cheese gives the signature tang, but a creamy brie or a soft blue also pairs well with the truffle and roasted tomato.
What sides suit the Euro Burger?
Something light to match its gourmet lean: a simple arugula salad or thin-cut fries rather than heavy loaded sides.
