This restaurant-quality burger, luxurious in its flavor and aroma, isn't made with truffles, but with white truffle oil, truffle salt, and truffle cheese infused into every component, imbuing this sandwich with a delectable flavor. A toasted bun is slathered with a garlic aioli made with mayonnaise, garlic, and truffle oil, topped with a beef patty topped with a melted slice of truffle cheese, and topped with a delicious glaze made with port wine, truffle oil, and truffle salt.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Prepare the glaze:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the port to a simmer. Cook until it reduces slightly to a light syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the truffle oil, truffle salt, and sugar; add more truffle oil to taste. Let cool slightly.
Prepare the aioli:

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, garlic, and lemon juice; add more truffle oil to taste.

Prepare the burgers:

Heat a cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Lightly oil the skillet. Form the ground meat into four patties, each 2 cm thick and 10 cm in diameter. Fry until the patties are browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for about 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt, about 1 minute more; transfer to a plate. Brush the cut sides of the buns with melted butter and toast in the skillet for 30 seconds or up to 1 minute.
Spread aioli on the bottom halves of the buns; place a patty on top. Stir the glaze and pour it over the patties; top with the top halves of the buns.
