When it comes to making burgers, I like to add my favorite condiment : the white truffle sabayon. The combination of both just turns out to be my ultimate burgers.

Description
Ultimate burger with white truffle sabayon recipe
Ingredients
Scale
For White Truffle Sabayon:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 Tbsp (4ml) white truffle oil
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) water
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Burger:
- 1lb (453g) ground beef
- 1 ½ tsp (7ml) Dijon mustard
- Several splashes of Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 3 Tbsp (44ml )Ketchup
- Enough red Onions (put in food processor for best result )
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For Burger:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together mince beef, Dijon mustard, few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, egg yolks, ketchup and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure everything is combined thoroughly and don’t over-mix it as it will affect the texture of the burger during the cooking process.
- Wet your hands before shaping your burgers so the mixture wont stick on your finger.
- Heat up some canola oil in a medium heat pan. You know when the pan is ready when the oil smokes slightly
- Searing the burger is the most important step. You put the burger into the oil and resist the urge to press them with a spatula or else you will end up with a dry burger.
- Flip the burger after 3 minutes of steady cooking and cook it for another 3 minutes.
- Before serving your burger, let it rest a little bit so that the juices inside the burger are distributed evenly.
For White Truffle Sabayon:
- Mix the egg yolks and water in a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and beat for approximately 10 minutes.
- When the eggs reached a stable foamy consistency, remove the bowl from the heat.
- Whisk in the white truffle oil and slightly season with salt and pepper
- Prep Time: 30 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
Delicious burger!
I find it a little funny that on his latest show all three judges destroyed a contestant for her use or truffle oil and yet here is a mod of his recipe added this culinary no no…..funny
These were delicious! We told the boys that if they didn’t love them we would take them to Carl’s Jr. Needless to say we didn’t go to Carl’s Jr. We weren’t too sure what to do with the Sabayon, so we used it as a burger topping. We also made truffle fries and dipped them in the Sabayon. Will use the base burger recipe even without the Sabayon as it was wonderful also!
Loved it!
