Jalapeño Fritter Burger with Garlic Aioli

This Jalapeño Fritter Burger is made with garlic infused grass-fed beef, thinly sliced provolone, butter lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheesy jalapeño fritters and a creamy garlic aioli sauce on a brioche bun. It doesn’t get better than this, friends.

I made these amazing jalapeño fritters and just knew I had to use them in a mind-blowingly good way. And since my husband loves a good hamburger as the temperatures warm I thought I would make this hamburger recipe. It’s the perfect summer food for BBQ’s and days at the beach!

Now, I am not a huge hamburger person myself but my husband is, big time. So this post is for all of you who love burgers or love someone who does (which is most all of us, I think).

This burger is made with a brioche bun, butter lettuce, garlic infused grass-fed beef, thinly sliced provolone, tomato, avocado, cheesy jalapeño fritters and a creamy garlic aioli sauce. It doesn’t get better than this, friends.

And honestly, if the fritters are done ahead of time, this burger comes together in about 30 minutes. Super simple. And it is packed with flavor which, is obviously a must when it comes to burgers (lifeless burgers make me sad).

Before we get to the recipe, let me just say, while the burger would be delicious on its own, PLEASE don’t leave out the fritters! They are SO good, seriously ask my husband, and they totally make the burger.

Ok. End Rant.

Ingredients

Aioli

• 2 egg yolks
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil

Hamburger

• 2 lbs ground beef (I used grass-fed 85% lean 15% fat)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (I used a microplane instead of mincing)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 4 brioche buns
• 1 head butter lettuce
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 8 jalapeño fritters, see homemade recipe in notes.

Instructions

1. For the aioli, to a food processor, add the yolks, garlic, and salt and pulse together. Slowly add the olive oil while blending until it forms an emulsion.
2. Transfer to a small bowl and place in the fridge until ready to use.
3. Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. In a medium-sized bowl, add the ground beef and minced garlic, salt and pepper and mix together with your hands.
5. Preheat a grill pan over a medium-high heat.
6. Form 4 burger patties in equal parts and place on the baking sheet.
7. Add the burgers to the preheated grill pan (I cooked two at a time) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side at a high temp then reduce to a medium heat and cook for another 4-6 minutes (this yields a medium burger). Add cheese 2 minutes before the burger is done.
8. Once your patties are finished cooking, place the brioche buns (sliced in half) onto the grill pan. If there is too much residue on the pan, feel free to wipe with a paper towel before toasting the buns.
9. Once finished, spread the aioli on both halves of the bun and layer the hamburger with lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. Top with the jalapeño fritters.
