A delightful burger recipe featuring a savory goat cheese and bacon topping, complemented by a sweet and tangy tomato jam.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.
Grill the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach a safe internal temperature.
In a sauce pot, combine cherry tomatoes, honey, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the tomatoes burst and the mixture thickens.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, crumbled bacon, and lemon zest until well combined.
Let the goat cheese soften slightly for easier mixing.
Place the cooked patties on a piece of foil on the grill. Top each with the goat cheese mixture and let it melt slightly.
Using foil prevents the cheese from dripping onto the grill.
Toast the burger buns on the grill edges until lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the buns to avoid burning.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, adding a lettuce leaf, and spreading tomato jam on the top bun. Close the burger and serve.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
