The Bastille Burger is a classic American dish that is perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick and satisfying dinner. This burger features a juicy beef patty that is topped with tangy blue cheese, red onion rings, and a drizzle of bearnaise sauce, all sandwiched between a soft and fluffy bun or French bread. The richness of the blue cheese and the bearnaise sauce is complemented by the vegetables and pickles to create a balanced and flavorful burger that will satisfy any craving.

Instructions

1.Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2.Divide meat into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a patty that is approximately ¾ inch thick.
3.Season each burger generously with pepper.
4.Grill burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness. If you desire a well-done burger, grill for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
5.While the burgers are cooking, grill the onion rings until they are lightly browned and slightly softened.
6.Place a few slices of tomatoes onto the bottom half of each bun or French bread.
7.Top the tomatoes with a layer of shredded lettuce.
8.When the burgers are done cooking, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
9.Assemble the burgers by placing the burger patty onto the bed of lettuce and tomatoes.
10.Top each burger with a dollop of bearnaise sauce and a tablespoon of crumbled French blue cheese.
11.Add the grilled onion rings and a slice or two of cornichon on top of the cheese.
12.Spread the top half of the bun or French bread with Dijon mustard and place on top of the burger. Serve immediately.
