Cheeseburger Briefkaart

Asset ID: 86537764 / Jupiterimages / Cheeseburger _x000D_ _x000D_ A cheeseburger is a hamburger with cheese that has been added to it. Traditionally, the cheese is placed on top of the patty , but the burger can include many variations in structure, ingredients, and composition. The term itself is a portmanteau of the words "cheese" and "hamburger." The cheese is usually sliced, and then added to the cooking hamburger patty shortly before the patty is completely cooked which allows the cheese to melt. Cheeseburgers are often served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup. In fast food restaurants, the cheese used is typically processed cheese , but there are variations, such as cheddar , Swiss cheese , mozzarella , blue cheese , and pepper jack . _x000D_ When cheese is added to a burger the nutritional value of the burger can be changed substantially. For example, a slice of Cheddar cheese can add 95 calories and 4.5 grams of saturated fat to a burger. Other types and amounts of cheese would have varying effects, depending on their nutritional content. _x000D_ _x000D_ This page is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic.
