Time 26m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb ground wild boar
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil (or more if necessary)
1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch dried sage
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
ground black pepper, to taste
2 ounces cambozola cheese, sliced,rind removed if desired (see note below)

Steps:

In a non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
Saute the chopped shallot for 2 minutes or until softened but not brown.
Set aside.
In a bowl, place the ground boar.
Sprinkle the thyme and sage over top.
Add the worcestershire sauce and pepper.
Add the shallot and oil and mix with hands until well combined.
(If you are making the burgers ahead of time, let the shallot cool completely before adding it to the burger mixture).
Form into two patties about 1/3" thick.
Broil or grill until well done, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Divide cheese and place on burgers about 1 minute before they are done.
Let burgers sit about five minutes before serving.
Nice served with a spinach and mushroom salad with a white wine vinagrette.
(A note about cambozola: It is a blue-veined brie and has a very mild blue flavour. You could probably substitute a mild blue cheese which will emphasize the sage, or a brie which will add richness. Experiment!).

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium 8-inch (20-cm) cast-iron skillet, press down half of the ground beef with a spatula to mold into a patty. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty until browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
Remove the patty from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
Return the pan to low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Add the garlic and spinach, stirring until the spinach is cooked down, about 5 minutes.
Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a baking sheet and top with 1 patty.
Layer 4 slices of cheese over the patty, then top with the caramelized onion mixture.
Top with the remaining 4 slices of cheese and the other patty.
Cover with the other sheet of puff pastry.
Trim the edges of the pastry with a knife and discard.
Crimp the edges of the pastry, then press with a fork to seal.
Brush the top and sides of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Slice and serve with additional toppings of your choice.
Enjoy!

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your burgers will taste. Look for fresh, grass-fed beef, ripe tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
Season your burgers well: Don't be afraid to season your burgers liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the beef.
Cook your burgers over medium heat: Cooking your burgers over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let your burgers rest before serving: Once you've cooked your burgers, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more tender and flavorful.
