Better Butter Brie Burgers

Heres a recipe that I had done a couple weeks ago but didn't have the time to post it. So finally, here it is. This is yet another Ted Reader recipe. His better butter burgers are absolutely fantastic. We decided to top them with some nice soft brie, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed onions. The combination of flavour on a ciabatta bun was just perfect. The burgers were sweet and tasteful. Once again I got my meat from The Butchery in Bells, Corners. I completed the meal by doing grilled romain hearts. Once again I didn't get the chance to take a picture of the final product. It seems I should hide the food from the crowd before getting the chance to take a picture of it all together.
