A Perfect Feast

Boursin Burgers with Arugula and Tomatoes are one of our favorite burgers. I love these cheeseburgers for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this whole dish in less than thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that this is such a simple dish. It’s just a little more complicated than making a really basic burger. But, with just a few simple toppings, these burgers go from ordinary to extraordinary. The arugula tossed with the Dijon Vinaigrette adds so much incredible flavor. Lastly, I love how the Boursin cheese adds an incredible garlicky, herby layer of flavor to this burger.

The Equipment I Used

• A Cast Iron Skillet- I like to use a cast iron skillet to cook my burgers. But, you can use any skillet.

The Ingredients Needed for Boursin Burgers with Arugula and Tomatoes

• Ground Chuck- I like to use ground chuck meat for all my burgers. I feel like it makes a much moister and more flavorful burger than other ground beef.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil- Use this to make the Dijon Vinaigrette. Buy a nice, mild brand. I like California Olive Ranch olive oil.
• Brioche Buns- These are my favorite kind of burger bun. And, since this is a French burger, brioche buns are appropriate.
• Cornichons- In keeping with the French theme, I serve this with little cornichon pickles. They add lots of tangy flavor.
• Baby Arugula- I like to use the Earthbound Farm baby arugula. Tossed with the Dijon vinaigrette, it adds so much fantastic flavor to this burger.
• Dijon Mustard- Grey Poupon is my favorite brand. I like the Country Mustard variety.
• Boursin Cheese- This is the star of the recipe. Be sure to use generous slices of Boursin to your burgers.

How I Made my Burgers

• Frist, I made my burger patties and cooked them in my cast iron skillet. We like our burgers well done, so I cooked them until there was no pink meat at all.
• Next, while the burgers cooked, I made the vinaigrette and tossed it with the arugula.
• Finally, I assembled my burger, topping them with a thick slice of Boursin.
