Burgers

4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds

1 ¼ lbs 80/20 ground beef

½ cup habanero cheese, shredded (you can use cheddar if you don't like it spicy)

1 red tomato, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

4 ripe pineapple slices, cored (or you can buy the pre-sliced canned pineapple)

1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded

½ tsp Olíva! Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil for brushing the burgers

1 tsp Olíva! Pineapple White Balsamic for drizzling over pineapple slices

salt & pepper

Olive Wood Smoked Mayo

3 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp Olíva! Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil

½ tsp Olíva! Pineapple White Balsamic

salt & pepper

Separate your ground beef into quarters. Form the meat into burger patties and make the edges thicker than the middle of the patty. The burger will shrink during cooking!

Brush your patties with the ½ tsp of Olíva! Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Leave the burger patties out for about 30 minutes to bring closer to room temperature.

While your burgers come to room temperature, preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat.

Take your pineapple slices and drizzle 1 tsp. of Olíva! Pineapple White Balsamic over the slices. Let it marinate for a couple minutes.

Lets make the Olive Wood Smoked Mayo! Whisk the mayo, Olíva! Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil, and the Olíva! Pineapple White Balsamic in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper. Done!

Grill your burgers on each side until desired doneness. Usually about 6 minutes per side depending how thick the burgers are. Add the cheese and let it melt!

Grill the pineapple slices to add a bit of smokiness and flavor. This should only take about 5 minutes.

Assemble your burger with the Olive Wood Smoked Mayo on the bottom bun, followed by shredded lettuce, the burger, grilled pineapple slices, and the tomato and onion!

Enjoy!
