Ingredients

• For the Aioli:
• ½ cup mayo
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped or 1 tsp jarred minced garlic
• 2 tbsp Pepperocini peppers
• 1 tsp smoked Paprika
• ½ tsp Kosher salt
• For the burgers:
• 1½ lb. ground beef (80/20)
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp canola oil
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, toasted
• 4 slices of Manchego cheese or pepperjack
• 8 slices of Serrano ham or smoked ham

Directions

• Make the aioli: Mix the mayo, garlic, peppers, paprika, and salt in a food processor. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Make 4 hamburger patties about ¾ in. thick. Make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Use 1½ tbsp of canola oil to brush on both sides of patties. Grill the burgers over medium high heat until golden brown and slightly charred for about 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and grill on the other side for another 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Assemble the burgers: Spread the bottom and top bun with aioli sauce. Top with a slice of cheese and a 2 slices of ham. Top with burger, another slice of cheese and 2 more slices of ham. Finally top with bun.
• Brush bottom and top buns with olive oil. Place in pan over medium high heat. Press down on burger and grill until golden brown. I used another smaller skillet to help flatten bun. Flip and grill until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve while hot.
