If there is a favorite ingredient that can not miss in a hamburger is cheese. Today is World Cheese Day and at Frankie Burgers we join this celebration because we are big fans of this star product.
We prepare many of our dishes with good cheeses and, of course, all our burgers have it. In short, in the Frankie Burgers kitchen we know that cheese adds flavor and texture.
We tell you which is the best cheese for a good burger and, if you are as cheese lover as we are, you will love the other suggestions we make: accompany your burger with some nachos and a good cheesecake, of course!
World Cheese Day
Did you know that there are more than 2000 types of cheese in the world? And there are cheeses for all tastes: cured, fresh, mild, strong, cow's milk, sheep's milk or goat's milk. It is a food that you can eat at any time of the day and in many recipes, achieving different flavors and contrasts in each dish.
World Cheese Day highlights the value of this product's tradition and its role in gastronomy; it is an indispensable food as it shares most of the nutritional characteristics of milk, making it an important source of calcium, proteins and vitamins.
What is the best cheese for a hamburger?
At Frankie Burgers we are cheese lovers and we elaborate many of our recipes with the best national premium cheeses. Our favorites? take note!
Cheedar Cheese
If there is a cheese that is the quintessential companion to the meat in a hamburger, it is cheddar cheese. Depending on its level of ripeness, its color can range from pale white to deep orange, as well as the intensity of its flavor. It is the perfect companion for its elastic texture, its irresistible flavor and its ease of melting due to its fat content. The intensity of its flavor makes it a perfect match for our brioche bread - a true contrast of flavors!
Goat cheese
If you are a true cheese lover, goat cheese is the best choice. Being goat cheese, it contains less lactose and its flavor is more intense, so a sweet contrast is recommended. At Frankie Burgers you will find the Willy Cheese option with grilled goat cheese accompanied by caramelized onion. Again, an ideal combination of ingredients, simple and exquisite.
The best cheeses for delicious nachos
Cheddar and mozzarella:
Two perfect cheeses to have different textures in the same dish as is the case with Frankie's nachos. We love to take a corn tortilla chip and see how the layer of cheese that covers them stretches, stretches and stretches. This is possible thanks to this mix: the cheddar cheese melts easily while the mozzarella, being less fatty, melts slowly. In short, two textures, two flavors and two aromas in the same dish.
The best cheeses for a creamy homemade cheesecake:
Mascarpone and Philadelphia cheese:
The "sweetest" cheeses arrive, not because of their flavor, but because they are used to make our creamy cheesecake. Mascarpone is a cheese with a slightly sweet flavor, made with milk and cream, adding creaminess to the recipe; Philadelphia cheese is a cream cheese with which we intensify the sweet flavor of the cheesecake without using a large amount of sugar.
How to assemble a hamburger properly: the order of ingredients
Everything has a meaning in the kitchen and in the case of the order of the ingredients when assembling the hamburger, even more so.
First we toast the bread and add the sauce on the two slices: the sauce provides a creamy texture and prevents the meat juices from leaking out. While we make our meat, we put the cheese on top so that it melts with the heat of the meat. In addition, its texture guarantees stability in your burger: all the ingredients will stay in place!
The rest of the ingredients should go on top of the burger to balance their flavors with the juices of the meat, the bacon or the fat of the cheese. In the case of the vegetables, by placing them on top of the burger, we ensure that they do not heat up and maintain their optimum temperature, freshness and flavors.
We encourage you to celebrate World Cheese Day by preparing your favorite burger with your favorite cheese or come celebrate it at Frankie burgers.
