How to Make Bastille Burger Bearnaise Blue Cheese And Red Onion Burgers

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Gently form 2 (4 oz) patties from the ground beef. Avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Season the beef patties generously with freshly ground black pepper. (No salt needed before grilling; it toughens the meat.)
  4. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese to melt.
  5. Lightly toast the burger buns or French bread slices.
  6. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the top buns.
  7. Assemble the burgers: bottom bun, lettuce, tomato slices, 1 tablespoon Bearnaise sauce, blue cheese-topped burger patty.
  8. Top with thinly sliced red onion, 2 cornichons, and another dollop of Bearnaise sauce if desired. Add the top bun.
  9. Serve immediately. For a crowd, prepare a condiment bar with lettuce, tomato, onion, cornichons, and Bearnaise sauce for easy self-assembly.
