Air Fryer Blue Cheese Burgers
Description
Juicy air fryer blue cheese burgers with tangy crumbles mixed into the patty and more melted on top. Ready in about 12 minutes with no grill required.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, 80/20
- 5 ounces blue cheese crumbles, divided
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 brioche buns
- Lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef, 3 ounces of the blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix only until just combined.
- Divide into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick and slightly wider than the buns. Press a dimple into the center of each.
- Let the patties rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Arrange in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook 6 minutes.
- Flip once and cook 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Scatter the remaining 2 ounces of blue cheese over the patties and cook 1 minute more.
- Check for an internal temperature of 160°F. Rest the burgers 3 to 5 minutes.
- Toast the buns in the air fryer for 1 minute if desired.
- Assemble with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Serve.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
Air fryer wattage varies — use the thermometer rather than the clock. Ground beef must reach 160°F. Cooked burgers keep 3 days refrigerated; uncooked patties freeze up to 3 months.
