Whenever Jen asks her boyfriend what he wants for dinner his response is ALWAYS either, "burgers or fish and chips." This time, Jen succumbed to one of his demands. With German food ideas on her brain, and a fresh taste of German cheese on her tongue, Jen had a light bulb moment. What if we make a German cheeseburger?! Jen's boyfriend would be so happy and the Ms. Schnitzel test kitchen would have an original recipe to fire up. Brilliant! But what is a German cheeseburger without a homemade pretzel bun?
Jen and Tara quickly got to work following the exact recipe from the Pretzel Bread post and instead of making pretzel bread, they shaped the dough into hearty buns.
The rest of this idea is simple, the homemade pretzel bun holds an organic, grass-fed burger, sauerkraut and cheese (choose one of 2) topped with your favorite German mustard, layered in whatever order you prefer.
There are two cheese options for this burger depending on your taste buds. You can either use the Cheddar Beer Spread (from previous post) or use the German blue cheese (from Pretty Cheese with Sugar on Top?). We all had a difficult time choosing a favorite because they were both delicious in their own right.
We would love to hear what different German cheeseburger combinations and flavors you come up with? Feel free to comment below!
