GRILL METHOD

1. Brush your grill with a towel dipped in Oil and pre-heat to medium-high heat.
2. Open vac-packed Burger Meat and form into Burger Patties. Season generously with Salt and Black Pepper.
3. Place Burger Patties on a medium-high heat grill and cook for 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Chef Mark McEwan recommends a doneness of medium to medium-well (145°F to 150°F).
4. Flip the Burger Patty. Cut the Brie de Meaux in half and place on top of the Patty. Allow the Cheese to melt for approximately 1-2 minutes.
5. Cut King Oyster Mushrooms in half and reheat on the grill for 1 minute. Once heated through, add Mushrooms on top of the melted Cheese and Patty.
6. Place Buns on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until golden brown with grill marks.
7. To build your Burgers, take your Buns and evenly spread Truffle Aioli on the top and bottom Buns. Add your Burger Patty with the melted Cheese and Mushrooms to the bottom Bun. Finish your masterpiece with some Red Leaf Lettuce and the top Bun.
8. Serve with Potato Salad and enjoy!
