Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 57m

Yield 36 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus 1/2 cup
1 1/2 cups, plus 1 tablespoon ground almonds
2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
5 egg whites
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the Macaroons: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Line several sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of the sugar, almonds, and cocoa powder.
  • In another clean dry bowl whip the egg whites with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until medium peaks form (do not beat to stiff peaks). Fold egg whites into dry ingredients to a make a meringue. Fill the pastry bag with the meringue. (To easily fill the pastry bag, place it (with a clothespin holding it shut at the bottom) in a tall round container such as a coffee can, mayonnaise jar, or vase, folding the edge over the rim of the container.)
  • Pipe rows of kisses 1-inch in diameter (about the size of a quarter), keeping them 1/2 inch apart, onto the sheet pans. Bake until very light brown, rotating the pans after 8 minutes, about 17 minutes. Let the macaroons cool on the pan.
  • Meanwhile, make the Peanut Butter Buttercream: In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and whip. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip until fluffy. Transfer the buttercream to a clean pastry bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Peel 2 macaroons off the parchment, pipe the buttercream on 1 flat side and sandwich the other flat-side down on top. Repeat with the remaining macaroons. Keep chilled in an airtight container until ready to serve.

FRENCH ONION SOUP BURGERS



French Onion Soup Burgers image

Let's be honest, everyone orders French onion soup for the gooey cheese topping and most of all the crunchy, crispy edges where the cheese browns and gets extra delicious. I intentionally drape a big piece of cheese over this burger so it melts on to the pan and caramelizes. You are welcome!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the griddle
4 ounces slab bacon, sliced 1/4 inch thick (lardons)
2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 white hamburger buns (no sesame seeds), split
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
2 cups freshly grated Gruyere cheese, about 8 ounces

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until some of the fat has rendered and the bacon is just starting to crisp, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the onion, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very crisp and the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. If the pan is getting too dark, add 2 tablespoons of water and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan; continue to cook until all the water has evaporated.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, whole-grain mustard and Dijon in a small bowl. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the inside of each bun. Shape the ground beef into four 6-ounce patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a deep depression in the center of each patty. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a griddle (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat and grease with some butter. Place the buttered buns on the griddle and cook until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Move to a cutting board. Place the burgers on the griddle and cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms are well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers and top with 1/2 cup of cheese each. It is ok if it spills over -- it will get crispy that way. Cover with a large heat-proof bowl and continue to cook until the cheese is completely melted and starting to crisp on the griddle, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the edges of the cheese are crispy, about 2 minutes. (This timing should result in medium-rare to medium burgers.) Transfer to the bottom buns.
  • Top the burgers with the caramelized onions and bacon. Spread the Dijonnaise on each top bun, then sandwich together and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers.
  • Grind your own beef: This will give you more control over the quality of the meat and the fat content.
  • Season the beef liberally: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Form the patties loosely: This will help them stay juicy and tender.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help them develop a nice crust without overcooking the inside.
  • Don't press down on the burgers while they're cooking: This will squeeze out the juices and make them dry.

  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help them retain their juices.
