A Hamburger with a bun the luxe, doesn't that sound terrific? It's a delicious hamburger filled with feta and topped with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. That's all layered in between a crunchy hamburger bun. And that way it becomes one of the most delicious recipes from the BBQ or skottelbraai.
One of our favorite grill recipes is a hamburger with a bun. We love to eat it (of course) with french fries, but if we try to keep things a little bit healthier, we eat a salad or roast potatoes as a side dish.
A great dish when on vacation
We try to keep the hamburger as healthy as possible, by taking a quality hamburger and combine it with lettuce, cucumber, and tomato.
On vacation, we've got a skottelbraai. A very popular sort of barbecue in Holland. But you can also use the skottelbraai as a big frying pan. Today a recipe with the skottelbraai: a hamburger with a bun the luxe.
- By pre-roasting the hamburger bun, it will become less soft and soggy when adding the hamburger.
- Feta is a Greek cheese and only the Feta cheese from Greece which is made from sheep's milk (possibly supplemented with goat's milk) may bear this name. Feta cheese has matured for at least 60 days and is very full of flavor. The original feta is made from raw milk and therefore you better not eat this during your pregnancy. Always read the label carefully.
- If you can't get real feta cheese, you can get white cheese cubes in the supermarket. Less intense in taste, but certainly good to use.
- By tearing the lettuce instead of cutting it, you won't get ugly cut surfaces.
