According to food historians, the cheeseburger was invented in 1920 in Pasadena, California, a remarkable 20 years after the hamburger first appeared. Lionel Sternberger (no pun intended), a cook at his father’s sandwich shop, “The Rite Spot”, one day decided to place a slab of American cheese on a hamburger, inventing one of the world’s most loved sandwiches.

Description

According to food historians, the cheeseburger was invented in 1920 in Pasadena, California, a remarkable 20 years after the hamburger first appeared. Lionel Sternberger (no pun intended), a cook at his father’s sandwich shop, “The Rite Spot”, one day decided to place a slab of American cheese on a hamburger, inventing one of the world’s most loved sandwiches.

Instructions

1. First, make the Dijonnaise by finely chopping the white onions and frying with the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the cream and mix in the mustard. Season the mixture and simmer until the sauce takes a mustardy colour and is relatively thick.

2. Mix together the minced beef, minced onion and pressed garlic. Shape into patties and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill to your liking.

3. In a medium frying pan, fry 8 slices of maple-cured or regular bacon and 4 eggs, and set aside.

4. Cut a brioche bun in half and spread a layer of Dijonnaise. Place a cooked patty on top, then a slice of cheese, followed by a fried egg, 2 slices of bacon and some chopped dill pickle.

5. Serve with hand-cut fries, ranch dressing and sweet and sour pickle relish.
