Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the poblano peppers on top.
- Broil the peppers, turning every few minutes, until the skins are blistered and mostly blackened, which takes about 10–15 minutes.
- Remove the charred peppers, place them in a bowl, and cover tightly to steam for about 30 minutes.
- Once cool, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and cut off the stems. Slice three peppers in half lengthwise and finely chop the remaining pepper, setting it aside.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to high heat, aiming for around 500°F.
- In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Gently stir in the chopped poblano pepper.
- Season the burger patties evenly on both sides. Place them on the hot grill and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes on the first side.
- Flip the patties and spoon a generous amount of the poblano cheese mixture over each one. Grill for another 2–3 minutes or until they’ve reached your desired doneness.
Assembly
- Place the buns cut-side down on the grill and toast until lightly golden, about 30–60 seconds.
- On each bottom half of a bun, place the burger patty, top it with half a roasted poblano pepper, and finally, cover it with the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
