Custom Blend Beef Patty Melt With Pimento Cheese Recipes

PATTY MELT WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the mascarpone, piquillo pepper puree, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon salt, smoked paprika, and white pepper. Mix on low speed until all of the ingredients are incorporated evenly. Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the sharp Cheddar cheese, diced piquillo peppers, aged sharp Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley to the bowl. Mix by hand until evenly incorporated. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Place the cheese into a container and refrigerate for 1 day.
• Lay the ground beef on top of a large sheet of plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the beef. Press the beef out to form a large square about 13 inches on all sides and about 3/4 to 1-inch thick.
• Lay a piece of the pullman bread on top of the plastic and cut burgers slightly larger than the bread. Cut a total of 4 burgers all the same size. Remove the plastic on both sides of the meat and season with salt and pepper on both sides. The burgers can be made and seasoned up to a day in advance.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over high heat and allow it to heat about 4 to 5 minutes. If you don't have one large enough for all the burgers use 2 skillets. When the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the burgers to the pan. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it has a nice crust on the bottom.
• Add the butter to the pan. Flip the burgers over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the burgers from the pan and keep warm. Allow the meat to rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the brioche and brown in the beef fat. Add pimento cheese to the bread and allow it to melt while it is browning.
• Add the rested burgers to the browned brioche top with the pimento cheese. Cut the burgers in half and serve.

PIMENTO CHEESE PATTY MELTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Bake the bacon on a broiler pan until crisp, about 15 minutes.
• In a bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper. Mix in the worcestershire sauce, parsley, and onion. Form 4 large patties (thinner in the middle for even baking).
• In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and grill, turning once, for about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Set aside.
• In a bowl, combine the cheddar, pimientos, cream cheese, mayo, hot sauce, paprika, and garlic until well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Reheat the skillet over medium heat. Butter 1 side of each slice of bread, place buttered side on work surface. Spread with cheese mixture. Top with slice with a burger, 2 pieces of bacon and another bread slice.
• Grill until golden and the cheese is melted.

CUSTOM BLEND BEEF PATTY MELT WITH PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Blend together the sirloin and short ribs and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Loosely form the meat into 4 equal 4-ounce patties about 1/2-inch thick. I like to shape my patties into either squares or circles depending on the shape of my bread. That way every bite will have burger in it! Create a small well in the center of each beef patty, using your thumb (this will help your burger cook evenly).
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, sprinkling with salt and stirring occasionally, until caramelized, brown and soft, 25 to30 minutes.
• Season beef patties generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle pan over high heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook the burgers well-side up (the burger well collects the juices while cooking, letting your burger marinate) until browned on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Spread the Homemade Pimiento Cheese on the non-buttered side of each slice of bread. Top half of the bread slices with a pile of onions, then add the burger patties and top with the remaining bread slices.
• Place the sandwiches back on the griddle and toast until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to melt, 2 minutes per side.
• Homemade Pimento Cheese:.
• Blend the Cheddar, mayonnaise, onions, pimientos, garlic and hot sauce in a food processor until well combined. Transfer the pimento cheese to a glass jar or bowl and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
