A daring twist on the classic cheeseburger that pairs juicy beef and melted American cheese with sweet peanut butter and strawberry jam. Crispy bacon and caramelized onion add crunch and depth, all sandwiched between soft seeded brioche buns for a playful lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
- 8 1/10 oz ground beef
- 2 American cheese
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp strawberry jam
- 4 slices streaky bacon
- 1 white onion
- 2 seeded brioche bun
Instructions
- 1Slice the white onion into thin rings and set aside.
- 2Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet; bake for 8‑10 minutes until crisp, then transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate.
- 3While the bacon cooks, shape the ground beef into two equal patties, about 1 cm thick; season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- 4Heat a large skillet or cast‑iron pan over medium‑high heat until very hot (about 428°F / 425°F).
- 5Place the patties in the pan and sear without moving for 2‑3 minutes until a brown crust forms.
- 6Flip the patties, add a slice of American cheese to each, and immediately cover the pan with a lid; add a splash (≈30 ml) of water to create steam and melt the cheese, cooking another 2‑3 minutes.
- 7While the cheese melts, toast the seeded brioche buns cut‑side down in the same pan for 30 seconds until lightly golden.
- 8In a small saucepan, gently warm the peanut butter and strawberry jam together over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly runny (about 1 minute).
- 9Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 2 minutes; this keeps them juicy.
- 10Assemble each burger: spread a thin layer of the warm peanut‑butter‑jam mixture on the bottom bun, add a layer of sliced onion, place the two cheese‑topped patties, layer the crisp bacon, drizzle another spoonful of the peanut‑butter‑jam mixture, then top with the remaining bun.
- 11Serve immediately while the buns are warm and the cheese is melty.
