Tired of the same old burger? This goat cheese stuffed alternative will wake up your taste buds.
Who doesn’t love a good burger? I made the most amazing goat cheese stuffed burger the other day.
It is perfect for our upcoming holiday festivities.
To be honest it would be great for any day of the week. this particular burger is stuffed with Joan of Arc Goat Cheese. I topped it with fig and onion jam. I think that goat cheese and figs go together so very well.
This time of year in my area figs are not in season so I went with the fig preserves. You can get a jar any time of year. The sweet onions just round the whole thing out. The star of this burger is front and center. They delicious creamy Goat Cheese from Joan of Arc Goat Cheese.
