What is in a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
It is a beef burger served in a bun with cheese, usually with pickles, onion, ketchup and mustard. The exact toppings can vary.
How do you make a Quarter Pounder with cheese at home?
Shape about 115 g of minced beef into a thin patty, season it and fry in a hot pan for roughly 3–4 minutes per side, until the centre reaches 71 °C. Add a slice of cheese near the end, then serve in a toasted bun with pickles, onion, ketchup and mustard.
How do you reheat a Quarter Pounder with cheese without making the bun soggy?
Separate the patty and cheese from the bun and toppings. Reheat the patty in a covered pan over a low heat, or in a microwave in short bursts until steaming hot throughout; warm the bun separately and add the cold toppings afterwards.

Refrigerate it within two hours, ideally with the bun and fillings separated, and eat it within two days. Keep it covered so the bun does not absorb moisture from the patty and toppings.

The cheese contains milk, and the bun usually contains wheat; sesame may also be present in or on the bun. Ingredients and cross-contact risks vary, so check the specific product information if you need to avoid an allergen.
