Lately “balance”, when it comes to food, has looked like a big ‘ole block of cheese. I’ve been eating lots of cheese in the form of parmesan, cheddar, you name it! And now, I finally had the chance to add havarti cheese to my list! I had never tried havarti before a few weeks ago and I’m officially in love. Havarti is a soft and creamy, slightly tangy, cheese that melts well. I cooked it into some quesadillas and considered sharing a havarti macaroni and cheese dish with you but wanted to be a little more adventurous.
You might be thinking that a burger isn’t all that special, but this one is! I slow cooked lamb shoulder chops that I received in a recent CSA share to juicy and flavorful perfection. The lamb was slow cooked with balsamic vinegar, honey, and rosemary which really brought out the flavor of the meat. I topped brioche burger buns with melty havarti and caramelized onions for a fancy shmancy burger that is over the top.
If you’ve never tried havarti I highly recommend you hop to it and get creative in the kitchen!
