Tips
1. Prepare the Burger Patties
Season the burger patties lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook on a hot skillet or grill, 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
In the final minute, top each patty with Manchego cheese and cover to melt.
2. Toast the Brioche Buns
Slice the brioche buns and toast lightly on a skillet, grill, or toaster.
Toasting adds structure and enhances flavor.
3. Prep the Veggies & Toppings
Slice the jalapeños.
Prepare the roasted red peppers.
Make blistered tomatoes by searing cherry tomatoes in a hot pan until the skins char and split.
Rinse and dry the lettuce and microgreens.
4. (Optional But Amazing): Make Queso Fundido
Melt your choice of Asadero, Oaxaca, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend in a pan.
Stir in chopped jalapeños, roasted red peppers, and blistered tomatoes.
Keep warm and gooey for spooning over the burger.
5. Assemble the Burger
Bottom brioche bun → add lettuce as the moisture barrier.
Place the Manchego-melted burger patty on top.
Add roasted red peppers and blistered tomatoes.
Add jalapeños for heat.
Pile on some microgreens for freshness.
If using, spoon queso fundido over everything for a decadent finish.
Crown with the top brioche bun.
Serving Suggestions
Perfect with fries, crispy onions, or grilled corn.
Add a smoky aioli or chipotle mayo if you want even more depth.
Try adding caramelized onions for a sweet counterbalance to the heat.
