The topping combinations are vast
Although Anthony Bourdain was a purist when it came to cheeseburgers, insisting that a burger should be enjoyed with just one hand, there are times when you crave a burger overflowing with distinctive toppings that will leave you messy. When that craving strikes, don’t hold back. You can create the ultimate cheeseburger with goat cheese and an array of other toppings. If you enjoy a combination of savory and sweet, consider spreading fig jam or honey on your bun and topping your beef patty with caramelized onions. Add some arugula for a peppery kick that balances the sweetness of the jam and onions with the richness of the meat and goat cheese. The tangy, slightly acidic notes of the goat cheese will be beautifully complemented by the sweetness of the other ingredients, resulting in a delicious bite.
If sweet flavors aren’t your preference, try incorporating roasted red peppers instead. Their subtle sweetness and smoky flavor pair wonderfully with the earthy tones of goat cheese. For added crunch, include a few strips of bacon (glazed bacon works well if you enjoy sweetness). You might also consider adding a portobello mushroom for a hearty, umami-rich burger that enhances the earthy flavors of the goat cheese. Goat cheese is versatile and can elevate non-beef burgers too. Whether on a turkey, lamb, or even a vegetarian burger, substituting goat cheese for a more traditional option may seem unconventional, but it significantly enhances both flavor and sophistication.
