Here's a hamburger recipe from Top Chef Ariane Duarte, using Finlandia cheese, "Guests love to feel pampered and one way you can do that is to replicate the restaurant experience at home. I like to offer my guests a host of burger toppings, but make them special by introducing high-quality ingredients to the menu."
1 ¼ pounds lean ground beef
1 ¼ cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
Suggested Finlandia Cheese: Swiss, Muenster or Gouda
4 sesame seed buns or hard rolls
Combine lean ground beef with onion, ketchup, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper. Gently mix with hands until all ingredients are just blended. Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick. Grill or broil to desired doneness. Pile high with your favorite Finlandia cheese.
Did you find the local angle?
Well, there isn't any, but I get so few phone calls from PR people, especially cold calls asking for something like this, that I figured what the hell.
