I'm gonna take your favorite flavor profiles
from that charcuterie board that we all love
and slap it onto a burger.
Got some really bold, funky cheese
and some sweet and tangy jam,
and we're gonna put it
onto this rich, flavorful burger.
You're gonna want to turn your next dinner party
into a boujee burger night.
Let's start by getting our burgers formed.
I will form four patties
out of this one pound of ground beef.
So, start by separating your beef
into four equal balls.
Work each patty into an even thickness
using your thumbs to create that nice edge.
It's key to leave a slight indent
in the center of your patty like this.
This helps the burger cook evenly
and prevents it from shrinking up,
nobody likes that.
I like to use a hearty amount
of crunchy sea salt and black pepper
for my seasoning.
Make sure that you season both sides well.
And now, these gorgeous patties
are ready for some flame.
Before we head to the grill,
let's get our crisp red onions sliced and ready.
And let me tell ya,
there is nothing
like a freshly grilled red onion.
The natural sugars in red onion
help them caramelize beautifully on the grill
with little effort.
It's such a perfect flavor
for this burger combo.
And so enters our gorgeous brie cheese.
Fantastic on a cracker or by itself,
but amazing on a burger.
All we need to do with this
is slice it and melt it onto our sizzling burgers.
Before our onions hit the grill,
I drizzle on a little bit of oil
just to help with sticking
and seasoning with a touch of salt and pepper.
Let's head to the grill.
Once everything hits the grill,
this burger comes together really quickly.
But I will say,
try to keep your onions whole
when they hit the flame,
that way they grill up evenly
and it's easier to plate your burgers
with a whole onion like this.
Place the seasoned patties down
and leave them alone.
Please don't start flipping them,
let them char.
That's where we're creating our flavor.
From one grilling expert to another,
put your spatula down
and walk away, my friend.
Oh man, look at those grill marks.
The onions are caramelizing beautifully.
These don't need much time at all,
we just want to take the bite off of them.
Once your burgers are ready for flipping,
flip them over
and let's top them with our brie cheese.
And when you see the flames
kissing your burgers like this,
that is a great sign.
You're creating some great flavor on these patties.
So, once you've placed the cheese on the burgers,
all we're trying to do here
is get your cheese to look just like this,
nice and gooey.
Then it's time to pull them.
These onions cooked so quickly.
They are perfect and ready to be pulled also.
And if you don't already warm
or toast your buns before serving,
this is your PSA (public service announcement) to start.
I'm quickly throwing my buns down
on this smoking hot grill
to simply warm them through
and create a nice toasted texture,
so it holds that fig jam really well.
All of my components for this burger are ready.
We've got our perfectly cooked patties
with a melty brie on top,
we've got our grilled onions,
our fig jam,
let's assemble some burgers.
Ah, fig jam,
the most adored and recognized condiment
on charcuterie boards,
will now graduate to impressing all of us
as a burger topping.
Load these burgers up,
do not be afraid of this jam.
The extra step we took to toast our burger buns
is helping here with holding all of that jam in place
and not having it soften the bun.
The umami in these flavors together
is out of this world delicious.
This burger is going to change
how you view all burgers.
Look at that.
The beautiful, bright color of the grilled onion
on top of that gooey, melted brie cheese.
I am stoked for you to try these.
Now, these are some boujee burgers.
Your friends are never going to forget this dinner party.
Now I get to enjoy one of these.

That looks amazing.
And I prefer the chili fig jam,
and I'm gonna dive into that for my bite.
The umami of this brie cheese with these onions
on this savory burger,
money.
And that chili fig spread
is my favorite with this burger.
It's the ultimate sweet and savory experience.
