Green-Chile Burgers with Fried Eggs
2 1/4 pounds ground chuck
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound mild American blue cheese, such as Maytag Blue Cheese, cut into 4 thin slices
4 large eggs
4 brioche buns, split
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil
1 cup Green-Chile Relish, warmed up
Light a grill. Gently form the beef into 4 thick patties and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat until lightly charred on the outside and medium-rare within, about 5 minutes per side. Just before the burgers are done, top each one with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet and brush it lightly with oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up over moderate heat, about 4 minutes. Spread the cut sides of the buns with the melted butter and toast on the grill. Transfer the burgers to the buns. Top with the Green-Chile Relish and the fried eggs and serve.
For the Green Chile Relish
1 pound long green New Mexico or Anaheim chiles
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Roast the chiles over a gas flame or under a preheated broiler, turning often, until charred all over. Transfer to a large plate and let cool. Discard the charred skin, seeds and stems and cut the chiles into 1/2-inch dice. Transfer the chiles to a bowl and stir in the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
