Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef, 80/20 blend
• 8 oz cooked lobster meat, cut into chunky pieces
• 2 brioche burger buns
• 2 thick slices cheddar cheese
• 2 large green-leaf lettuce leaves
• 2 thick tomato slices
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Lobster Topping
   Melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the lobster, lemon juice, chives, and smoked paprika, then gently warm for 1–2 minutes.
2. Cook the Burgers
   Divide the beef into 2 patties. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in a hot skillet for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
3. Add the Cheese
   Top each patty with cheddar and let it melt. Lightly toast the brioche buns.
4. Build the Burgers
   Spread mayonnaise on the buns. Add lettuce, tomato, the cheesy beef patty, and a generous spoonful of garlic butter lobster.
5. Finish & Serve
   Top with extra lobster and chives, close with the brioche bun, and serve immediately while hot.
