The Blue Cheeseburger elevates the classic cheeseburger into a gourmet masterpiece brimming with flavor. It begins with a patty seasoned and grilled to juicy perfection, then crowned with a lavish sprinkle of tangy blue cheese. The warmth of the meat gently melts the cheese, infusing the patty with its distinctive, bold taste. Adding to the burger’s sophistication is a slice of mango cheese with nutty and caramel flavors that are beautifully melded with blue cheese.

This burger isn’t about the cheese, though. It also boasts a sweet and savory figgy jam, adding complexity with its fruity undertones and sticky sweetness. The peppery bite of fresh arugula perfectly balances the jam’s sweetness, while a drizzle of cider vinegar reduction introduces a zesty tartness that cuts through the cheese’s richness.

Notes

For the juiciest burger, make a small dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb before cooking – this prevents the burger from puffing up in the middle and ensures even cooking.
