  • 1 shallot minced / finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 heaping tbsp crumbled gorgonzola cheese the fresher the better
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
  • salt to taste

Burger
  • 4 Pre-made Burger Patties Try LaFreida (Seriously!!!!)
  • 4 Burger Buns I like small buns, to not take away from the burger. Try Brioche buns, you won't be offended.
