Inside-Out Burgers

I really like the bite of blue cheese. A blue cheese burger is my favorite! This burger is everything I like in the burger without so much of the mess! Enjoy!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  crumbled blue cheese (2 to 3 ounces)
• 2  ounces cream cheese
• 2  tablespoons  chopped flat leaf parsley
• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
•  salt and pepper
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 4  hamburger buns, split and toasted
•  lettuce, onion slices and condiments, for serving

Directions

1. In a small bowl, using a fork, mash together the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the parsley. Divide the mixture into 4 disks about 1 1/2 inches across. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper and mix well. Form into 4 equally sized patties about 3/4 inch thick.
3. Form a deep cavity in the center of each beef patty. Place a cheese disk in each cavity and pull the meat together to completely cover the cheese.
4. In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook, about 4 minutes on each side for medium. Serve on the buns with the lettuce, onion and condiments.
