Rustic-style buns ("bûcheron" buns):

-
Camembert cider cream:
- 150 g of Camembert cheese
- 100 ml of dry cider
- 1 tablespoon of thick crème fraîche
-
Thinly sliced apple:
- 1 tart apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Pink Lady), thinly sliced.
-
Butcher-style ground beef patties:
- 4 patties (150 g each, preferably from aged beef).
-
Camembert slices:
- 8 thick slices (2 per burger).
-
Caramelized apple slices:
- 2 sweet apples (e.g., Golden or Fuji)
- 20 g of butter
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Instructions
-
Prepare the buns
- If the buns are not fresh, lightly reheat them in the oven for 5 minutes at 150°C (300°F) to restore their softness.
- Slice them in half and set aside.
-
Camembert cider cream
- Remove the rind from the Camembert if preferred.
- Heat the cider in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the Camembert, cut into pieces, and let it melt while stirring gently.
- Stir in the crème fraîche to create a smooth and creamy texture. Keep warm.
-
Caramelized apples
- Peel and cut the apples into thick slices.
- Melt the butter in a skillet, add the apple slices, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Cook over low heat until the slices are golden and tender. Set aside.
-
Cook the patties
- Heat a skillet or grill with a bit of oil or butter.
- Sear the patties over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness (rare, medium, or well-done). Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the Camembert slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking so they melt slightly.
-
Assemble the burgers
- Spread a generous amount of the Camembert cider cream on the bottom half of each bun.
- Add a few thin slices of apple for a refreshing crunch.
- Place the beef patty with the melted Camembert on top.
- Add a generous serving of caramelized apples.
- Finish by placing the top bun on the stack.
-
Serve
- Serve immediately with sweet potato fries or a crisp green salad.
Pro Tip
Drizzle a touch of honey or a reduction of cider over the caramelized apples for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy! 🧀🍎🍔
