Ingredients for a Gourmet Black Truffle Burger

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon black truffle paste
• 4 slices of aged cheddar cheese (optional)
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon black truffle oil
• 1 cup arugula
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• Fresh black truffle slices (for garnish)

How to Cook a Perfect Truffle Burger

1. Prepare the Patties:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and black truffle paste. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
   
2. Preheat the Grill or Pan:
   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
   
3. Cook the Patties:
   Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
4. Toast the Buns:
   Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in the oven until golden brown.
   
5. Make the Truffle Mayo:
   In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with black truffle oil until smooth.
   
6. Assemble the Burgers:
   Spread the truffle mayo on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Add a handful of arugula, followed by a cooked patty. Top with tomato slices, red onion, and a slice of fresh black truffle. Cover with the top bun.
   
7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Serve the black truffle burgers immediately, paired with crispy fries or a side salad.
