Castello® Jalapeño Havarti Cheese Stuffed Burger

Ingredients

For the caramelized onions:

2 onions, sliced
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp vegetable oil

For the burger:

beef mince
16 slices streaky bacon
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp onions salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

To Serve:

4 brioche buns buns, toasted
jalapeño chillies, sliced
rocket

Preparation

In a large bowl mix together the beef mince, garlic granules, onion salt, black pepper and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.

Divide the mixture into 4 and shape each patty into a 6 inch thin circle. Stack 4 slices of Castello Jalapeño Havarti on top of each other.

Slice the cheese into 4 pieces and keep them together, take one quarter and place it in the center of a patty. Press a second patty on top to seal the cheese between the two patties.

Preheat the grill to high.

Cook the cheese-filled patty on a grill pan for 6-7 minutes on each side. Place a slice of Castello Jalapeño Havarti on top of each burger and cover with a metal cloche for 2-3 minutes until melted.

Add vegetable oil into a medium frying pan and cook the sliced onions over a low heat for 10 minutes until softened. Add in the maple syrup and vinegar. Cook for 20-25 minutes over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized.

Place the bacon in grill pan and cook until crispy for 5 mins.

Serve the burger straight away, inside a toasted brioche bun, topped with the caramelized onions, crispy bacon and garnished with some sliced jalapeño and arugula.
