2. Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
  2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.
  3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
  4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Why put the cheese on top of the burger when half of it just melts off--Instead, form the burger around the cheese so you can char the meat and safeguard the more delicate flavors. Use any mixture of hard or semihard cheeses-Emmentaler and Gouda or Asiago and Parmigiano-Reggiano also pair well.

Notes:

Tip

To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

  • If you really want lo-cal cook-outs

    rlastfogel - July 6, 2007 03:32:02 PM PST
    This is a great recipe - top with carmelized onions
    for a real treat brown slowly in a olive oil spritzed pan. NOW for the real lo-cal option: Take a crisp whole large romain lettuce leaf and put your favorite condiments on the inside of the leaf and spread it out. Next place the burger of your choice on the leaf, top with sauted onions, mushrooms, peppers, pickles, raw onion, a huge slice of tomato - anything goes! Then fold the leaf around the whole thing and you are ready to eat! Keep the fold of the leaf on the bottom for neat eating. Just think; by omitting the blah bun you can have desert!
