Deep Fried Cheeseburger

For the Burger

• 2 Brioche Buns

• 240g ground beef

• 4 slices of cheese (2 different varieties)

• 1/2 onion

• 2 portions of pickles

• 2 tsp mustard

• 2 tsp mayonnaise

• 1 liter oil for frying

6-step preparation

1. Prepare the patties and onions

Peel the onion and cut into rings about 0.5 cm thick. Divide the ground beef into four equal-sized balls and press them into flat patties (about 0.5 cm thick) using a burger press or a sturdy spatula.

2. Preheat grill or pan

Preheat the stovetop with a pan and a little oil, or prepare a gas grill with a hot reversible plate for direct heat.

3. Toast the buns

Cut open the burger buns, brush the cut surfaces with butter, and toast cut-side down for about 30 seconds until golden brown.

4. Fry the patties

Heat oil in a pot to approximately 160°C (stovetop) or 190°C (Dutch oven on the grill). Carefully place the patties into the hot oil using tongs and fry for about 30 seconds.

Note: Never leave unattended and avoid danger of splashing!

5. Melt the cheese

Lift a patty, place a slice of cheese on top, and dip the whole thing briefly into the hot oil several times (4-5 times) until the cheese is well melted. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheeses.

6. Assemble the burgers

Bread the toasted bun halves with mayonnaise and mustard. Place one American cheddar patty and one Emmental patty on each bottom half. Then top with cucumber slices and onion rings. Place the top bun half on top, halve the burger as desired, and serve.

💡 Save calories –

Total savings potential: 👉 Up to 200–300 kcal per serving if you:

• Use only 2 slices of cheese instead of 4 or switch to light cheese

• Replace mayonnaise with low-fat yogurt or light mayo

• Use mustard sparingly (1 teaspoon per burger is enough)

• Replace brioche buns with smaller or lighter buns

• Use only the minimum amount of oil when frying (e.g., by dabbing more thickly or using oil spray with hot air circulation)

👉 Result: The burger remains hearty and cheesy, but with significantly less fat and calories – ideal for more conscious enjoyment.
