Blended Mushroom Burger Topped with Brie, Bick’s Relish & Deep Fried Sweet Pickles

There are two things I have been crazy about this summer; seafood (for obvious reasons) and homemade burgers. Since the warm weather hit I have been grilling up burgers every week. Chicken burgers, turkey burgers, blended mushroom beef burgers… and I’m talking get-your-hand-in-a-bowl-and-squish-away homemade burgers!

If you are serving burgers at home, homemade is the way to go! You can control the ingredients, the flavours, and the toppings. Personally, the toppings are my favorite part! Gourmet cheeses, caramelized onions & mushrooms, specialty sauces, and of course pickles are among my must-have toppings! So when Bick’s Pickles approached me and asked me to share my favourite burger recipe to celebrate the launch of their new “Name a Burger Success Story” Contest, I jumped at the chance.

I quickly found myself in my kitchen surrounded by pickles (what a lovely place to be in right?); dill pickles, sweet pickles, pickled beets, and onion relish. The ideas began swirling… finally it hit me. Deep fried sweet pickles. On top of the burger. Yes!
