These elegant hamburgers elevate the classic American burger by pairing very lean ground beef with the sophisticated tang of goat cheese. The patties are simply seasoned with salt and pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the beef to shine. As they broil, the goat cheese melts into a creamy, slightly browned crust, while fresh tarragon adds a subtle, herbaceous note that cuts through the richness. This dish, inspired by the French steak haché au chèvre, is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light summer meal served on toasted buns or over greens.

Hamburgers With Goat Cheese

These elegant hamburgers elevate the classic American burger by pairing very lean ground beef with the sophisticated tang of goat cheese.

Directions
-
Preheat the broiler to high and position the oven rack about 4-5 inches from the heat source.
-
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions of approximately 1/2 pound each.
-
Gently shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to overwork the meat.
-
Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet to catch drippings and arrange the patties on the rack.
-
Broil the patties for 3 to 6 minutes on the first side, depending on desired doneness (3 minutes for rare, 6 for well-done).
-
Flip the patties and broil for another 2 to 4 minutes until cooked to your preference.
-
While the meat cooks, crumble the goat cheese and mix it gently with the tarragon.
-
Top each patty with an equal portion of the goat cheese mixture, pressing it lightly onto the meat.
-
Return the patties to the broiler for about 2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
-
Remove from the oven and serve immediately on toasted buns or over a bed of arugula.
