Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Thawing Your Patties
Remove the patties from the freezer and thaw them to room temperature using your preferred method.
Step 2: Reheating Your Patties
Prepare a hot water bath with hot tap water in a large bowl.
- Submerge the packaged patties in the water, letting them sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, replace the water with fresh hot tap water and submerge the patties for another 10 minutes.
- Note: While your patties are reheating, prepare the toppings.
Step 3: Preparing Truffle Aioli
Mix mayonnaise with truffle oil in a ratio of 3:1. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust to taste.
Step 4: Caramelizing Onions
Thinly slice onions. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add onions and a pinch of sugar. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown and caramelized.
Step 5: Searing Your Patties
Remove the patties from the packaging and pat them dry.
- Preheat your grill or pan over high heat. Add oil if pan-searing.
- Sear the patties for 1 minute on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
Step 6: Assembling Your Burgers
Spread truffle aioli on the toasted buns.
- Place the seared patties on the buns.
- Top each patty with blue cheese crumbles, caramelized onions, and arugula.
