Cheeseburgers with Roasted Ramp Mayonnaise
Burgers topped with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, and creamy Roasted Ramp Mayonnaise.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef chuck meat
- ¼ tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices red onion
- 4 brioche buns
For the Roasted Ramp Mayonnaise:
- 4 ramps, with leaves, cleaned
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by making the Roasted Ramp Mayonnaise: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the ramps and oil in a small casserole. Cover the casserole and bake it for 45 minutes, or until the ramps are tender. Remove the ramps from the oil. Set aside the oil for another use. I used mine to drizzle over steamed broccoli. Put the ramps in the food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients. Process until the ramps are combined with the mayonnaise.
- Next, make the burgers: Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper and form it into four patties.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on high heat. Drizzle the cast iron skillet with the oil and cook the burgers to your desired doneness. When the burgers are almost done, top them with some of the cheese.
- Serve the burgers on the buns with the lettuce, tomato, onions, and Roasted Ramp Mayonnaise.
