    • Montchevre® Natural goat cheese log – The most common goat cheese in the United States, smooth and creamy chèvre is what most people think of when they think of goat cheese. Montchevre® is a non-GMO and healthy way to bring unbeatable texture and a clean, tangy flavor to e v e r y t h i n g – including salads, pastas, bowls, roasted vegetables, potatoes, cheese boards, sandwiches and especially “Juicy Lucy” style filled burgers!

    • Arugula – Much like goat cheese, fresh baby arugula adds a sneaky little POW of unexpected flavor to everything – from salads, sandwiches to egg breakfasts. It’s my favorite green! Feel free to substitute any fresh greens you have on hand.
    • Sweet Onion Chili Jam – My favorite sweet onion chili jam is made locally in Seattle but jars can be difficult to track down. To make a similar version at home caramelize thinly sliced sweet onions with garlic and red pepper flakes until a thick paste forms. Then, add a heavy amount of brown sugar, a splash of vinegar, and hot sauce to taste. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
    • Quick Pickled Red Onions – bring a beautiful pop of flavor and color in less than 5 minutes. For days when 5 minutes is 4.5 minutes too many, simply swap with sliced onions of any sort or dill pickles.

    Step by step instructions

    Cool or cold hands are the key to forming goat cheese stuffed burger patties with ease. If you find the seasoned ground meat is sticking to your hands simply refrigerate for a few minutes and rinse your hands in cool water before forming.

    • Prepare ingredients. Divide a four once goat cheese log in half, then in half again to form 4 equal coin-shaped goat cheese rounds. Season ground beef and divide into equal pieces using the same method. Using the same method divide seasoned burger into 4 equal pieces.
    • With lightly cupped hands gently and loosely form burger patties using palm of hand. Place a goat cheese round in the center and bring the burger up around the sides, gently sealing at the top to form an even patty. Press gently with thumb to slightly indent the top and help the patty maintain shape while cooking.

    • Season with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, then place on preheated grill of your choice (charcoal, smoker, stovetop,, etc) and cook until medium – about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Meanwhile, toast buns lightly and smear each side with roughly 1 tablespoon sweet onion chili jam. Assemble arugula first followed by stuffed burger, pickled red onions and top with bun. Cocktail pick and pickle or gherkin optional (but highly photogenic ;))

    Customize

    Stuff it top it and serve up a variety of cheese stuffed burgers with all the Montchevre® Goat Cheese Log varieties. With flavors like Jalapeno, Four Pepper, and Honey the options are truly endless.

    • For a less spicy version mix mayo with chili onion jam with mayo or substitute just a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
    • Spice it up! Try jalapeno and four pepper goat cheese stuffed burgers with topped with pepperjack cheese, sriracha mayo and pickled jalapenos for maximum burger spice.
    • Substitute ground lamb or turkey for the ground beef.
    • Blendeterian – decrease your meat consumption by blending chopped mushrooms into your ground meat with roughly 20% mushroom and 80% meat.
    • Meatless – black bean and/or veggie burgers can be stuffed with goat cheese too!
    • No goat cheese? Try feta, cheddar, pepperjack or even mexican cotijo stuffed burgers.

    Make – ahead of time

    Freeze up to three months. Separate stuffed patties with parchment paper, vacuum seal and freeze then thaw overnight in refrigerator and cook as directed.
