Let’s class it up today on Burger Artist with some Brie. Brie is a soft, creamy cheese that tastes delicious and pairs really well with green apples so we’ll create some green apple and brie burgers. Brie comes with a rind of white mold that is perfectly ok to eat. That rind won’t really melt on the burger though so its up to you to either leave it or cut it off.
If you’d like, you can also dice up some onions to mix in with your burger meat and throw a little Thyme for extra flavor. There’s a great restaurant called the 112 Eatery here in Minneapolis that makes a similar burger, and it’s awesome!
We’re also going to switch up the typical bun with an English muffin, to match the delicate cheese (or something). You’ll also get to throw the apples on the grill to get them nice and hot. Yum.
