Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to broil at 500°F. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and blackened. Once roasted, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover them with plastic wrap for 30 minutes, allowing them to steam and soften for easy peeling.
- While the poblano peppers steam, in a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or a fork to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Heat your grill to a high temperature, around 500-550°F. Season the burger patties with your favorite burger seasoning. Grill the patties for about 1.5 minutes on each side, ensuring they have a nice char. After flipping, generously top each patty with the cream cheese filling and grill for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the burgers grill, cut the brioche buns in half. Place them on the grill, cut-side down, and toast until golden brown, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once all components are ready, assemble your Poblano Popper Burger by placing a grilled burger patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with one of the roasted poblano peppers, and crown with the top bun.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to your cream cheese filling.
