A twist on an American classic - French bread buns, Gruyere cheese, Poupon mustard and herbs de Provence.
For 4 burgers:
1 1/2 pounds lean, ground sirloin
1/2 teaspoon EACH salt and pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons herbs de Provence
1 loaf French bread
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons Poupon mustard
4 slices Gruyere cheese
4 tomato slices
Place ground meat in a medium bowl. Add salt, pepper and herbs. Mix with hands and form into 4 burgers. Grill or fry in a pan until preferred doneness.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil. Cut 4 burger-sized pieces of French bread and slice horizontally. Butter one half, and spread mustard on the other half, topped with a slice of cheese. Broil until golden brown.
Assemble burgers and top with a slice of tomato. Voila!
