Classic Cheeseburgers with Torch

The idea of everybody’s favorite burgers with slightly melted cheese and crispy vegetables sure sounds mouthwatering! Classic cheeseburgers are among the best recipes to use your Zen Spirit Culinary Torch.

First, prepare your burgers with this simple recipe. You will need some high-quality ground beef (make sure not to buy extremely lean cuts or your burgers will end up extremely dry) and a couple of basic spices – salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder will be more than enough.

Classic Cheeseburgers Melting

If you’re not planning to serve these burgers with some condiments, you can add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce to the meat but that’s completely optional. Once burgers are done, top them with a slice or two of cheddar and burn with Zen Spirit Culinary Torch until nicely melted and lightly charred.

If you wish, you can also burn your burgers with a torch for a unique crispy finish you won’t get in a frying pan. Then, all you have to do is top burgers with your favorite toppings such as fresh lettuce, onions, and tomato and serve immediately.
