The Ultimate Burger with Gruyere Cheese, Pesto Mayo & Arugula | LeMoine Family Kitchen... Great burger seasoned with Healthy Solutions Burger Spice Blend

Let me tell you about two things I really love; a great burger and some competition! This Burger with Gruyere Cheese, Pesto Mayo & Arugula is a winner in my book, the flavors are incredible!!! I was recently offered the chance to enter into the 2015 Blogger Recipe Challenge being hosted by Healthy Solutions Spice Blends, so I figured why not give it a go! I was given a choice of what spice blend to use in an original recipe and I decided to go with the Ultimate Burger Spice Blend.  

A big juicy burger seasoned with the Ultimate Burger Spice Blend makes life easy peasy and who doesn’t love a great shortcut to make life easier? You can add great flavors with no effort… just open the spice blend {no preservatives, no fillers & no MSG} and boom, AMAZING FLAVOR! I topped these with a thick slice of gruyere cheese because I just love the mild flavor and it melts wonderfully. To kick things up a little, a 2 ingredient pesto mayo slathered on the toasted buns. To add some bright freshness, wonderful peppery arugula! I love everything about this burger!

Author: Angela LeMoine
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Healthy Solutions Ultimate Burger Spice Blend
  • 2 sesame seed buns
  • 2 Tbsp light mayo
  • 2 Tbsp basil pesto
  • 2 thick slices gruyere cheese
  • arugula
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo and pesto. Set aside. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a bowl mix together the beef and seasoning. Gently form into two even patties. I like to sprinkle each side of the burgers with just a little salt and pepper.
  3. Heat up a heavy duty pan {I used a cast iron skillet} over medium high heat.
  4. Toast the buns, set aside. Once cooled, slather the pesto mayo generously on both the bottom and top bun.
  5. Cook the burgers on one side for about 4 minutes, until a nice crust has formed.
  6. Flip the burger, add the slice of cheese on each and cover the pan. Cook for another few minutes until the cheese is melted and cooked to a medium rare/medium {longer if you prefer it more done}.
  7. Let the burgers rest for two minutes on a plate. Place onto the bun and top with a big handful of arugula.
