Falafel Burger with Cheddar,Avocado & Brioche bun
Hey everybody.
It's
Ghosty and
Kuraiko writing and today we have some nice vegetarian burgers for you, with homemade Brioche burger buns.
And a nice side salad with a yoghurt dressing that Ghosty threw together.
We know we have uploaded several of them by now ... but we haven't made them in a long time and it's always a nice dinner to have.
With all the messy fun of eating it. Did somebody say "cubs"? Yeaaaah.... maybe ^.^'
Brioche burger buns:
- 235 ml warm water
- 3 Tbsp warm milk
- 21g fresh yeast (half a cube)
- 2,5 Tbsp white sugar
- 2 big eggs (1 for the dough, 1 to brush on the buns)
- 450g wheat flour (Add more flour if necessary)
- 1,5 Tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp soft butter
- Sesame, pretzel salt or pyramid salt, black caraway seeds
Whisk water, milk, yeast and sugar, let it rest for 5 minutes until it starts to foam a little. Combine the flour, salt, butter, yeast-milk mixture and 1 egg in a big bowl and knead into a dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes. We advise using your hands, but dough hooks are okay as well. The dough should remain lightly sticky, but not too runny.
Put back into the bowl, cover it with a moist kitchen cloth and let the dough rise for 1h.
Knead the dough again on a floured surface, divide it and form 6 balls of equal weight. Place them on a sheet of baking paper with some space between the balls. Cover them with a moist kitchen cloth and let them rise for another hour.
If the cloth sticks to the dough (which can happen during the summer very easily), just brush a little water on the cloth before removing it.
Heat up the oven to 200°C, top – and bottom heat.
Mix an egg with some water and brush the dough balls with the mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seed and/or pretzel salt and/or black caraway seeds.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
They are ready if the bottom of the buns sound hollow if you knock on them.
The buns can be easily frozen and will taste like fresh after thawing.
For the patties we used a store bought dry organic Falafel mix. Basically just chickpea and wheat flower and some herbs and spices that you soak in water and then fry.
No MSG or other unwanted things.
Now build your burger the way you like it.
We used:
Falafel patties, aged Cheddar (we melted the slices on the patties in the pan), fried onions (onion rings coated in starch and then fried in oil to make them crispy), cherry tomatoes, lettuce, sliced Avocado, scrambled eggs (basically made from what was left from brushing the buns), ketchup and hot mustard.
Yoghurt Dressing:
Not really a recipe, because honestly... I (Ghosty) don't really have a set one.
For that I threw together a cup of greek yoghurt, added some olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, hot mustard, a little tomato paste, a sprinkle of paprika powder, salt, pepper, some diced onion, lots of dill and a bit of water.

Ghosty:
Then I probably said it wrong. What I meant was that Falafel is not a substitute for beef. It has a different texture, different taste and everything.
So.. something different and not a "let's replace it and expect it to taste like beef"...like some of the "veggie alternatives" that are supposed to taste like the meaty variant (which they usually don't. We both don't like them).
I like Falafel as well, even if I'm not a vegetarian myself. But I end up cooking a lot of veggie dishes, just because I love veggie food.

You can use any patty you like, there are tons of alternatives and almost no limit to that.
Beef, chicken, soy based.. and a while ago we made a red lentil one, which was quite tasty.
We usually just end up using falafel when cooking together, because we both like it and Kuraiko is a vegetarian. ^^
