Ingredients

Burger Ingredients:

  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 package potato rolls
  • 4 thick slices of Roasted Turkey Breast
  • 8 slices bacon cooked
  • 2 roma Tomatoes Sliced & roasted

Mornay Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Whole Butter
  • 2 oz All Purpose Flour
  • 8 oz Heavy Cream
  • 8 oz Milk
  • ½ cut of Pecorino Romano Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Form the hamburger meat in to 4 patties 1/4 lb each
  • Preheat your Big Green Egg to 500°
  • Grill 4 minutes per side over direct heat and let rest while you make the sauce
  • In a two‑quart saucepan, melt butter and slowly whisk in flour until combined and forms a thick paste (roux)
  • Continue to cook roux for two minutes over medium‑low heat, stirring frequently
  • Whisk heavy cream and whole milk into the roux and cook over medium heat until the cream begins to simmer, about 2‑3 minutes
  • Remove sauce from heat and slowly whisk in Pecorino Romano cheese until the Mornay sauce is smooth
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
  • If you are using the Martin's Potato Bread, cut off the crust, rub with a little softened butter and garlic powder, then broil for 1-2 minutes until you have toast
  • Roast the sliced tomatoes under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until sightly charred
  • Place the bread on the bottom of your plate, add a slice of turkey, the hamburger patty, two slices of bacon, a couple slices of roasted tomato
  • Pour the cheese sauce on top
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
