Directions: |
Directions:To make the aioli, in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and half the garlic, season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a medium bowl,combine the ground beef and the remaining garlic, season with salt and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Using your hands, divide the mixture into 4 equal sized balls, flatten into 4 inch wide rounds, Divide the cheese between the centers of 2 of the rounds, top each with the remaining round. Firmy pinch the edges to completely seal the meat around the cheese; cup the sides and gently squeeze to shape into 1/2 inch thick burgers. Transfer to a plate and refigerate for at least 5 minutes to set.
While the burgers set, in a medium bowl, combine the onion and flour; toss to thoroughly coat. In a medium pan (nonstick is best), heat a thin layer of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the coated onion (tapping off any excess flour) in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. (If necessary, work in batches.) Transfer to a paper towel lined sheet pan or plate, immediiately season with salt.
Discard the oil and wipe out the pan.. In the pan used to frizzle the onion, heat 2 tsp of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the burgers and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Transfer the burgers to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Let the burgers rest for at least 3 minutes.
Add the buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond; toast on medium-high 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Transfer to a clean, dry work surface. Spread the cut sides of the toated buns with the aioli. Top the bun bottoms with the halved lettuce leaves, cooked burgers, frizzled onion and bun tops.
