Goat cheese stuffed burger recipe

Great for grilling season and far beyond, this juicy melt-in-your-mouth burger recipe is bursting with flavor and goat cheese. And although they are a very impressive looking gourmet burger recipe these goat cheese burgers are actually very easy to make!

With tangy ​Montchevre® Goat Cheese Logs, spicy sweet onion chili jam, bitter baby arugula, and sour pickled onions all in one bite.

Ingredients

  • Goat cheese – Smooth and creamy chèvre is the most common goat cheese in the United States. It brings tangy flavor to these juicy lucy style filled burgers.
  • Ground beef
  • Hamburger buns – brioche or any other hamburger bun can be usd.
  • Chili onion jam – you can make homemade chili onion jam or purchase a canned onion jam from the store.
  • 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.
  • Pickled onions – bring a beautiful pop of flavor and color in less than 5 minutes. Or use fresh sliced onions instead.
  • Optional – dill pickles or baby gherkins to serve. For a less spicy version substitute mayo for the chili onion jam or use a mixture of chili jam and mayo.
Ingredients for goat cheese burgers

Step by step instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add ground beef and season with ¾ teaspoon sea salt and pepper. Gently toss with fingertips. Roughly divide ground beef in half, then in half again to form 4 equal pieces. With cold, cupped hands, gently form four thin burger patties. 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.
  2. Divide goat cheese 4 equal rounds and place a round of goat cheese in the center of each patty. Bring sides of the burger up around the goat cheese and gently seal at the top to form an even patty and gently press thumb in center to slightly indent and help it maintain shape while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.

  1. Preheat grill to medium or cook patties on the stovetop using a large cast iron pan.
  2. Place burger patties on preheated grill or pan and cook until the burger registers 160 degrees Fahrenheit, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  3. Meanwhile, toast buns lightly and smear each side with roughly 1 tablespoon sweet onion chili jam.
  4. Assemble burgers by topping bottom bun with arugula followed by stuffed burger, pickled red onions and top bun.
  5. Enjoy!
