Is there any food that symbolizes summer more than the classic cheeseburger? Hear us out: while fruit or ice cream may be the first thing that comes to mind, it is the vibe of a backyard barbecue surrounded by family and friends, or late-night fast food runs after a fun night out, that makes summer what it truly is.
What transforms a decent cheeseburger into one that is unbelievable is, well, the cheese. It needs to be the ideal combination of tasty and melty. Here are four that will send you in for a second bite.
Brie
If gooey and creamy is what you’re after, look no further than Brie. The French cheese will add a level of sophistication to your burger while making it ultra delish.
Cheddar
When it comes to classic, cheddar is the way to go. For a double dose of the cheesy stuff, you can even place cheddar into the center of your patty to achieve the ultimate cheese pull!
Stilton
If you prefer something a little stronger, try some Stilton. The blue cheese is not for everyone, but it does add an incredible umami flavor.
Smoked Gouda
Subtle but powerful is the best way to describe smoked Gouda. It pairs wonderfully with an equally smoky barbecue sauce.
