Instructions

Begin by preparing the garlic aioli to allow flavors to develop and meld.

Roast whole garlic cloves in oven at 400°F for 15 minutes until soft.

Mash roasted garlic and mix with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, grated Parmesan, and fresh chives until smooth.

Season aioli with salt and pepper, then refrigerate while preparing patties.

In large bowl, gently combine ground beef with minced fresh garlic.

Add grated Parmesan, fresh herbs, and all seasonings to beef mixture.

Mix ingredients just until combined - avoid overworking the meat for tenderness.

Form mixture into 4 equal patties, slightly larger than bun diameter.

Create slight indentation in center of each patty to prevent puffing.

Let patties rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.

Meanwhile, prepare garlic butter by mixing softened butter with minced garlic.

Add Parmesan and parsley to garlic butter, mixing until well combined.

Heat grill or large skillet over medium-high heat until properly preheated.

Brush patties lightly with olive oil and season exterior with salt and pepper.

Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on first side without pressing or moving.

Flip patties and immediately top with Parmesan and provolone cheese slices.

Cook additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, checking internal temperature.

During last minute, add butter to melt cheese and create crispy edges.

Toast bun halves cut-side down until golden, then brush with garlic butter.

Spread generous amount of garlic aioli on both bun halves evenly.

Layer bottom bun with lettuce, tomato, and any desired additional toppings.

Place cheese-topped patty on prepared bottom bun with melted cheese.

Add bacon, crispy onions, and fresh basil leaves for extra flavor layers.

Crown with top bun and serve immediately while cheese is still melted.
