Brie, Fig, and Prosciutto Burger

Recipe from the Foley Food and Wine Society.

1 lb ground beef
4 pretzel buns
8 ounces of brie cheese, sliced
1 head of living butter lettuce
4 ounces fig spread
6 ounces San Daniele Prosciutto
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a non stick pan over medium low heat, melt butter. Toast buns until golden brown.
Form ground beef into four equal patties. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sear in a medium high heat pan for about 2 minutes per side.
Top patties with 2 ounces of brie cheese each, and place under a broiler to melt the cheese, approximately 1 minute.
Spread fig jam on bottom buns, top with burger patties, and finish with 2 slices of prosciutto and 1 leaf of butter lettuce. Top with remaining bun and serve.

Brie

A kind of soft, mild, creamy cheese with a firm white skin.

Try Gewürztraminer—its floral, lychee, and spice notes complement the creamy, buttery texture of Brie while cutting through its richness with a slight acidity and hint of sweetness.
