Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 ounce pickles, minced
1/2 ounce shallots, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 pound ground beef, 80 percent lean/20 percent fat blend
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
8 ounce crescenza cheese
8 ounce gorgonzola cheese
4 brioche buns, toasted
8 tablespoon 25 degrees 1000 island dressing
1 handful washed wild arugula

Directions

Combine all of the ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a griddle or sauté pan over medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil. In a bowl, combine the beef and salt and pepper to taste to form four 5-inch patties. Cook the patties for about 8-9 minutes in the pan, flipping once, to desired doneness. While the burgers are cooking, place all of the bacon in a skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, reserve.
Just before the patties are cooked, place the Crescenza and Gorgonzola cheese on top until melted; remove from heat and let rest. Halve the toasted brioche buns then spread the dressing evenly on each side of the bun. Layer the bacon and arugula to complete the burger. Serve warm.
