Courtesy of Adam Siegel, Executive Chef
The Bartolotta Restaurants


1 lb Ground Veal
To taste  salt and cracked black pepper
4 oz Merkt’s Cheddar Spread, room temp, or any other cheese you prefer
4 ea Kaiser or hamburger Roll
½ cup crispy bacon, julienne
½ cup caramelized onions, chopped
To taste aged balsamic vinegar
20 ea cornichon pickles
2 tbl  salted butter, softened

Directions

  1. Take the veal and divide into 4 equal sized patty’s, to desired thickness. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Cook over a high heat charcoal grill, about 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Toast the buns on the grill, and then spread with the butter.
  3. To build the burger, place the bottom of the bun down first, follow with a Veal patty, then add the onions drizzled with the Balsamic vinegar. Then top with the bacon and some pickles. Simply place the top of the bun on and enjoy. Serve with French fries or potato salad.
  4. Alternatively, you ccan make tiny, individual open face burgers for hors’douvres. Simply make one ounce patty’s and sear in a pan, toast the bread in a toaster, and cut out with a ring mold to the appropriate size. Build the burger and hold together with a toothpick.
