Ingredients

3 –4 tbsp crumbled plain goat cheese from The Humble Goat
2 brioche buns toasted
2 beef burger patties 1/3 lb each, or your preferred size
½ cup pickled red onions store-bought or homemade
1 fresh jalapeño thinly sliced
Salt & pepper
Butter or oil for toasting the buns
Optional Toppings:
Arugula or spinach for extra green bite
A drizzle of honey for sweet heat contrast

Instructions

Prep the Buns
o Lightly butter and toast the brioche buns cut-side down in a skillet until golden.
Cook the Patties
o Season burger patties with salt and pepper.
o Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until desired doneness (about 3–4 min per side for medium).
Assemble the Burger
o Bottom bun: layer with pickled red onions and fresh jalapeño slices.
o Add the hot burger patty.
o Immediately top with crumbled goat cheese — it will soften slightly from the heat.
o Top with the toasted bun.
Serve
o Serve hot with kettle chips, fries, or a simple green salad. Add extra jalapeño slices on the side if you like it spicy.

Notes

Let the burger rest 1 minute before serving so the goat cheese just starts to melt but still holds texture — that creamy tang really pops against the smoky beef and zippy toppings.
