Bacon Jam Burger
A single ground pork patty seared until crusted, topped with a slice of American cheese and a spoonful of sweet-savoury bacon jam cooked down with onion, brown sugar and coffee. Built on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato, this burger balances rich pork against jammy bacon.
