  • Step 1

    Prepare the mini-buns. Pour the milk in a mixing bowl and dilute the yeast in it. Add the butter and the beaten egg.

  • Step 2

    In a stand mixer, mix the flour, sugar and salt together. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl of the mixer and knead for 5 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Cover with plastic wrap and leave the dough to rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a warm place (the dough should double in volume).

  • Step 4

    On a floured countertop, knock back the dough to get rid of the air and divide it into 16 small pieces.

  • Step 5

    Bring the edges towards the center to knock pack each piece of dough. Shape into balls and place them on a baking pan covered with parchment paper. Flatten the balls with the palm of your hand. Cover with a dish towel and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the balls with the egg yolk diluted with a little water. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and seeds and bake for 10 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Prepare the patties. Make 16 small meatballs and flatten them. In a skillet, heat the butter until frothy on high heat and cook the patties for 30 seconds on each side. Season with salt and pepper and place a slice of Soignon goat cheese on each small patty.

  • Step 8

    Cook the slices of bacon in a skillet and cut them into 3 pieces.

  • Step 9

    To assemble the burgers, cut the buns in half and spread ketchup on both pieces. Add some spinach to the bottom half of the bun, followed by a patty with goat cheese, a slice of tomato, a bit of bacon and lastly, a thin slice of zucchini. Put on the top of the bun and secure with a toothpick.

Sport and recovery: protein-rich meal ideas with goat cheese

After a good workout, protein is often one of the first things that comes to mind. And for good reason: some goat cheeses can contribute to protein intake as part of a varied post-workout meal. But a protein-rich meal after exercise is about more than protein alone: starchy foods, vegetables, fruit and hydration also have an important role to play in creating a balanced meal.

How to Use Goat Cheese in Classic Italian Dishes

Italian cooking is full of familiar flavours that pair naturally with goat cheese: ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, olives, herbs and pesto, to name just a few. Exploring goat cheese in Italian cuisine does not mean replacing the cheeses traditionally associated with these dishes. Instead, it offers another way to interpret familiar favourites — bringing creaminess, a distinctive flavour or a different texture while preserving the character of the original dish.

From pizza and pasta to risotto and bruschetta, the key is choosing the right type of goat cheese for the role you want it to play.
