Stuffed Cordon Bleu Burgers Recipes

STUFFED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken in the freezer until slightly frozen, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut in half when cool.
• Add mushrooms and garlic to the bacon fat and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
• Mix 1/2 of the ale with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the mushroom mixture; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until butter melts and mixture is warm. Mix remaining beer with remaining cornstarch in a small bowl; add to the milk mixture along with chicken bouillon. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and combine with mushroom mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a casserole dish with parchment paper.
• Place eggs in a pie plate and mix with a fork until beaten. Place bread crumbs in a separate pie plate.
• Remove chicken from the freezer. Cut a small pocket into each breast; do not cut in half or cheese will melt out during baking. Divide bacon and Swiss cheese evenly and stuff in chicken breasts. Immediately dip in beaten egg mixture, then dredge in bread crumbs. Place in the prepared casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Just before the chicken is ready, warm the cream sauce on the stove.
• Plate chicken and ladle warm sauce over each portion.

STUFFED CORDON BLEU BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix meat and dressing; shape into 8 (1/4-inch-thick) patties. Combine mayo and mustard. Mix 1 Tbsp. mayo mixture with ham and cheese. Reserve remaining mayo mixture for later use. Top 4 patties with ham mixture; cover with remaining patties. Pinch edges together to seal.
• Grill 5 to 7 min. on each side or until done (160°F).
• Spread rolls with remaining mayo mixture; fill with burgers.

STORM'S CORDON BLEU BURGER

Steps:

• You'll need a sharp knife, a sturdy metal burger turner and 2 large, heavy skillets (well-seasoned cast iron works very well; Teflon will not work.)
• Preheat the first skillet over medium-high heat. The second skillet should be preheated to be slightly less hot. Smear the inside of the second skillet with a thin coat of butter. When the first skillet is hot enough to instantly sizzle a small test piece of burger, place the 4 patties inside. Set the buns, crust side up, in the second skillet. Wait 30 seconds or so, then turn the patties and press them down so they spread a bit and stick to the skillet surface. Wait 2 minutes, then remove the lower halves of the buns and coat the toasted surface with mayonnaise. Add 2 slices of tomato and then cover tomato with sliced lettuce. Set aside. When the patties are almost done to your taste, turn them a second time, let them cook a few more seconds until you think they're just right, then remove from the pan.
• You're through cooking. Next step is to assemble the whole thing. Place 1 beef patty on top the dressed lower half of the hamburger bun. Then stack in this order: 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of cheese, a second slice of ham, a second beef patty, and finally the top half of the hamburger bun.
• In a few seconds, the heat from the hamburger patties should melt the cheese and weld the entire assembly into 1/2 pound of heaven on a bun.
• Serving suggestion: French fried potatoes.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS (CORDON BLEU)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound flat and thin without breaking through the meat (Ideally this would make a 1/8 inch thick rectangle).
• Remove plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper, repeat with remaining breasts.
• Mix diced ham and shredded cheese together in a bowl, spoon 2-3 tbsp of mixture onto each flattened breast.
• Fold in the bottom and sides and roll up (this is often difficult to do depending on how the breast flattens out, so I just fold them over and stick lots of tooth picks in them to keep them closed).
• Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese, brush each roll with olive oil and roll in crumb mixture to coat.
• Place rolls, seam side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes (or until chicken is thoroughly cooked).
• Remove toothpicks before serving!

NIF'S CHICKEN CORDON BLEU BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat BBQ to medium (approx 350º F).
• In large bowl, add onion, chicken and/or turkey, egg, breadcrumbs and spices. Mix well.
• Form the mixture into 8 patties. (You can freeze them at this time to make at a later date. Put parchment between each burger.).
• Place patties on BBQ. Close lid. Cook each side 5-10 minutes or until center is well cooked. Thermometer should be at least 160-170º F.
• For the last 2-3 minutes of cooking the burgers, heat ham slices on grill.
• Place the buns cut side down on the grill and brown slightly.
• Serve chicken/turkey burgers on the buns, topped with ham, then cheese and fixings of choice.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Whisk together sour cream, yellow mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with onion powder. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Cook chicken breasts until browned on bottom. Turn chicken, and top with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked though and the cheese is melted.
• Place rolls, cut side up, under broiler. Toast until lightly browned.
• Top each chicken cordon bleu burger with a tablespoon of honey-mustard sauce, and serve on toasted onion rolls.
