Yields: 2 Burgers

What You Need

2 x Brioche Buns
1 Jar Casa Bonita White Cheese & jalapeno Queso
EVOO
2 x Impossible Burger Patties
The Keg Burger Seasoning (Any burger blend will do)
2 - 3 Jalapeno Peppers, sliced ( depending on size)
6 + Slices Aged White Cheddar, from the brick (sub sandwich style aged if needed)
1 Avocado
Fresh Bib Lettuce, 4 + pieces washed & dried
1/4 Red Onion, thinly sliced
Nando's Perinaise (Sub chipotle mayo)
Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper

Add about 2/3 C Queso to a small pot and cover. Set to medium low and warm until hot and silky. Reduce to low and keep covered if needed until everything else is ready.
In the meantime, add a couple tablespoons EVOO to a non-stick skillet set to about medium. Once heated, season both sides of your patties with the burger seasoning & a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Press three - four jalapeno slices on to one side of each patty and place them jalapeno side down in your hot skillet to fry up. Let your burgers cook 4 - 5 minutes, flip, and continue for another few minutes until they're nice and crisp / browned. Flip them one last time and lay out 3 - 4 slices of aged cheddar on top along with a couple slices of jalapeno. Turn the heat off of your skillet and add a splash of water to the lid for the skillet & flip that on to cover. The water will rapidly steam off, melting your cheese in no time. Keep covered while you grill your buns.

Heat your grill pan and brush your buns with EVOO. Once heated, press the buns onto the hot skillet and grill for a couple minutes until gorgeously golden and crisp.
ASSEMBLY - Start by splitting your avo and mashing half on each bottom bun. Season with a pinch of salt. Next, a couple pieces of your crisp lettuce. Then, your cheesy jalapeno patty followed by spooning over some of that melty, silky queso. Any leftover queso is to be used for dunking your delicious burgers into. Pile some red onion slices on top of your cheesy patties and slather some Nando's Perinaise on your top bun.
Close them up, serve, and ENJOY!
