Gourmet Burger Toppings
When it comes to making a gourmet burger recipe, the toppings are the most important part. What really sets them apart from a regular hamburger or cheeseburger recipe are the gourmet burger toppings you use!
You might like an extra creamy cheese, like for a goat cheese burger, or even blue cheese burgers. Or, maybe you’re a fan of an egg on your burger? Poached eggs make one of the best gourmet burger recipes. In fact, we have an egg burger recipe to share with you below!
If you want to make your own burger recipe from scratch, try these recipes as gourmet burger toppings:
- Blistered Shishito Peppers
- Candied Bacon (Millionaire’s Bacon)
- Peach Mango Salsa
- Sriracha Fry Sauce
- Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
Gourmet Burger Seasoning
Like any burger, these burgers are perfect with simple seasoning like salt and pepper. But I always like to add a little something special to my homemade burger recipes for extra flavor!
One of the best gourmet burger seasoning is our Garlic Parmesan French Fry Seasoning. This seasoning isn’t just delicious with french fries or potato wedges – it’s perfect for seasoning your ground beef burger patties, too!
Even just adding a little garlic powder to your homemade burger seasoning mix will give it an extra kick you will love. Try a blend of garlic and onion powder, or even use steak seasoning instead.
Burger Recipe Tips
- For beef burger recipes, use 80/20 ground beef at the best quality, and avoid over-mixing your ground beef patties.
- Use gourmet burger toppings like high-quality cheeses.
- Your buns should be high-quality, too, whether you toast them or leave them untoasted!
- When cooking your burgers, avoid pressing down on them with your spatula. Let them cook naturally.
- Always let beef rest before cutting into it. The same thing goes for burgers!
- Serve with the best side dishes to make it an even better experience!
