If you’re a fan of In-N-Out’s secret menu, then you’ve probably heard of the Flying Dutchman. This low-carb, protein-packed burger is all about simplicity: just two beef patties and two slices of American cheese, with no bun or toppings. It’s the ultimate way to enjoy pure, unadulterated beef and cheese goodness. Now, you can make this classic at home with our easy recipe!
Ingredients:
- 2 ground beef patties (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 2 slices American cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grilled onions or pickles for added flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill or pan: Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Season the patties: Sprinkle both sides of the beef patties with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties on the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Add the cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Let it melt slightly.
- Assemble the burger: Stack the patties on top of each other with the cheese in between.
- Serve hot: Enjoy as-is, or add grilled onions or pickles for extra flavor.
FAQs:
What makes the Flying Dutchman different from a regular burger?
The Flying Dutchman is unique because it has no bun or condiments—just beef and cheese, making it a great low-carb option.
Can I add toppings?
While the classic Flying Dutchman is just beef and cheese, you can customize it with grilled onions, pickles, or even a lettuce wrap.
What type of cheese is best?
In-N-Out uses American cheese, which melts perfectly and gives a rich, creamy taste.
Can I make this with a different type of meat?
Absolutely! You can try ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based patty if you prefer.
Notes & More:
- Cooking Tip: For extra juiciness, let the patties rest for a minute before stacking them.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair your Flying Dutchman with a side of fresh-cut fries or a protein-style lettuce-wrapped burger for a full meal.
- Storage: Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a pan.
Enjoy your homemade Flying Dutchman, and let the cheesy, beefy goodness take over!
