Ultimate Cheeseburger Recipe
A juicy, perfectly seasoned beef patty topped with melted sharp cheddar, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and fresh lettuce, served on a toasted brioche bun - Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cheeseburger delivers restaurant-quality flavor through his signature technique of combining premium ingredients with expert cooking methods.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (preferably 80/20 mix)
- 4 slices Aged Provolone Cheese
- 4 slices Dubliner Cheese
- 4 tablespoons Boursin Cheese
- 4 Hamburger Buns
- Salt and Pepper To taste
- Butter or Oil For grilling
Instructions
Prepare Patties:
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
- Form each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Preheat Grill:
- Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
Cook Burgers:
- Grill the patties for about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Cheese Layering:
- When the burgers are almost done, start by placing a slice of Aged Provolone cheese on each patty, followed by a slice of Dubliner cheese.
- Allow the cheeses to melt slightly on the grill.
- Before removing the burgers from the grill, dollop a tablespoon of Boursin cheese on top of the other cheeses.
Prepare Buns:
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet.
Assemble Burgers:
- Place the multi-cheese-topped burger patties on the bottom buns.
- Add toppings like lettuce, tomato, or onion if desired, but remember the focus is on the cheeses.
- Cap with the top bun.
Serve:
- Serve the Ultimate Cheeseburgers immediately, allowing the warmth of the burger to soften the Boursin cheese further.

Notes
Press a dimple in the center of each patty before cooking - this prevents the burger from puffing up in the middle and ensures even cooking.
