FAQ ❓

Which bun should I use to make a cheeseburger?

You can use a brioche bun. If you'd like to make your own burger buns, the recipe is right here.
We've used a ground beef patty. You can use the meat of your choice, or even replace it with a veggie patty (our recipe is made with red kidney beans)! You can use a frozen patty for this recipe, but the cooking time will vary, so cook it longer :-).

What cheese should I use?
We've used slices of cheddar, but you can also use any sliced cheese you like, such as Mimolette.
The classic cheeseburger sauces are ketchup and American mustard. But don't worry, you can substitute one or the other, or even both, with your favorite sauce :-).
Of course, when you think of a cheeseburger, you think of fries. Some people like to serve it with potato wedges, while the more adventurous might choose coleslaw. Either way, no one's going to judge your choice of side, so feel free to try this sweet potato fries recipe, for example.
On top of the cheddar, add another ground beef patty and another slice of cheddar, then continue with the recipe.
