PARTNER POST – Get inspired with creatively crafted Castello Blue Cheese as we celebrate a Summer of Blue with #BluesdayTuesday.
Homemade blue cheese veggie burgers are topped with caramelized onions and a spicy tomato jam for a backyard BBQ star.

This evening, the star of our summer BBQ was a blue cheese veggie burger with caramelized onions. Usually, people stay away from blue cheese for grilled burgers as they think its too crumbly to sit still in a bun. However, thanks to Castello, it’s now very easy for any cook to create an epicurean burger worthy of a gourmet chef with the launch of Burger Blue – perfectly sized, supremely meltable slices of Castello Burger Blue Cheese. Not only does it make the grilling experience simpler and cleaner, it also brings out the flavor of the veggie patty that I made and was a great complement to my spicy tomato sauce and the sweet caramelized onions!
The veggie patties are quite easy to make. Just boil all of your favorite veggies, mix them with some white flour and bread crumbs, and shallow fry them on medium heat. These can be made a day in advance so you don’t need to fret on the day you are grilling. The blue cheese slices are the perfect size, even if you have medium-sized buns. I used caramelized onions for my topping, along with some tomatoes and lettuce. For your spread, you can use anything that you like, but a spicy tomato ketchup or some chipotle mayo would be great additions.
