Ingredients:

Burger

  • 1/2 lb sirloin beef burger patty

  • Salt

  • 1 brioche bun (toasted)

  • 2–3 slices Ubriacone cheese

  • Fresh arugula

Tomato Jam

  • 1 cup diced plum tomatoes

  • 1/2 small onion, thin sliced

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 4 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon Calabrian chili

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme

Instructions:

1. In a small pan, heat butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook slowly until caramelized, about 10–12 minutes.

2. Add diced tomatoes, sugar, Calabrian chili, apple cider vinegar, thyme and a pinch of salt. Cook on medium-low until thick and jammy, about 10–15 minutes. Set aside.

3. Season the 1/2 lb sirloin patty with salt. Grill over medium-high heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.

4. During the last minute of cooking, add the sliced Ubriacone cheese on top of the burger. Cover the pan or close the grill lid until melted.

5. Spread tomato jam on the bottom bun. Add the cheeseburger, fresh arugula, and a little more tomato jam on top. Finish with the top bun.
