For the Fried Pickles

• ▢ 1 jar 16 oz thick-cut dill pickle slices (save the juice!)
• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ ½ cup milk
• ▢ ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• ▢ Vegetable oil for frying

For the Burgers & Assembly

• ▢ 4 ground Wagyu beef patties
• ▢ 4 brioche buns buttered
• ▢ 1 large white onion thinly sliced
• ▢ Heinz Yellow Mustard to taste
• ▢ Toothpicks for assembly

Instructions

 

• ▢
  Step 1: Prep the Onions & Pickles
• ▢
  Thinly slice the white onion and submerge the slices in a bowl of cold water (this keeps them extra crisp and mellows the raw onion bite).
• ▢
  Drain the pickle slices thoroughly. (Pro-Tip: Keep the pickle juice in the fridge to use for brining chicken or pork chops!)
• ▢
  Step 2: Bread & Fry the Pickles
• ▢
  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
• ▢
  In a shallow baking dish, combine the flour and seasoned salt.
• ▢
  Dip each pickle slice into the egg wash, then coat directly in the flour mixture. Set flour-coated pickles on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet until all are prepped.
• ▢
  Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pickles in batches until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• ▢
  Step 3: Grill the Burgers & Buns
• ▢
  Cook the Wagyu beef patties on a hot grill until they reach your desired level of doneness.
• ▢
  Butter the brioche buns and toast them on the grill until lightly browned.
• ▢
  Step 4: Assemble & Serve
• ▢
  Spread a generous layer of yellow mustard on both the top and bottom toasted buns.
• ▢
  Drain the onions on paper towels and divide them evenly on the bottom buns.
• ▢
  Add the cooked Wagyu patties, a generous stack of hot fried pickles, and another drizzle of yellow mustard.
• ▢
  Top with the bun, secure with a toothpick (spear a fried pickle on top for garnish!), and enjoy immediately!
