Rosemary Thyme Gourmet Burgers

Rosemary and Thyme Burger Recipe

1. Ingredients:
   • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat)
   • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
   • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
   • 2 cloves garlic, minced
   • 1 small onion, finely chopped
   • 1 tsp salt
   • 1/2 tsp black pepper
   • 1 tbsp olive oil (if using lean meat)
   • Burger buns
   • Toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, onion, condiments, etc.
2. Instructions:
   1. Prep the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with rosemary, thyme, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and olive oil (if using lean meat). Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
   2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties. Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
   3. Cook the Patties: Preheat your grill, stovetop skillet, or oven to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using a grill or stovetop skillet, you can add a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking.
   4. Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet for added texture and flavor.
   5. Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on a bun and add your desired toppings and condiments.
