Ingredients

In the Saxon-Style Steamed Cheeseburger, we adapt the original American cheeseburger by incorporating Saxon spices, such as caraway seeds and marjoram, into the patty. Additionally, we use Saxon cheese, such as Quarkkäse or Butterkäse, which adds a distinct flavor and enhances the overall creaminess of the burger. The bun is also replaced with a Saxon-style bun, which is softer and slightly sweet, providing a unique taste experience. We alse have the original recipe for Steamed Cheeseburger, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Ground beef and pork — Use lean cuts of meat for a healthier option. Ensure the meat is well mixed to distribute the spices evenly.
  • Saxon cheese — If Saxon cheese is not available, you can substitute it with a mild and meltable cheese like Gouda or Emmental.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added flavor, you can sauté some onions and mushrooms to serve as toppings for the cheeseburgers.
  • Experiment with different Saxon cheeses to find your favorite combination of flavors.
  • If you prefer a spicier burger, you can add a pinch of paprika or chili powder to the meat mixture.

Serving advice

Serve the Saxon-Style Steamed Cheeseburgers with a side of traditional Saxon potato salad and a crisp green salad. This combination provides a balanced and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can garnish the cheeseburgers with a sprig of fresh parsley or a slice of tomato. Serve them on a wooden platter for a rustic touch.
