About the Hungry Jack's Plant Based Whopper Cheese

The Plant Based Whopper Cheese is $13.30 and 2,630 kJ. It is the Plant Based Whopper with a slice of melted cheese, priced the same as the beef Whopper Cheese at $13.30.

Cheese does more structural work on a plant patty than on beef. A plant based patty releases less fat as it cooks and holds its shape more firmly, which means the salad above it has less to grip. A melted slice fixes that, binding the build the way it does on the beef version and stopping the tomato sliding on the third bite.

The cheese also softens the seasoning. Plant patties are seasoned harder than beef, because they need to carry flavour that beef gets from fat, and the result can read as salty on its own. Dairy fat mutes that, which is why this version tastes more balanced than the plain plant based Whopper rather than simply richer.

On the numbers, energy goes from 2,317 kJ to 2,630 kJ, protein from 24.6g to 29.6g and sodium from 1,154mg to 1,306mg. Fat reaches 47g, which puts it just above the beef Whopper Cheese at 51g on energy but below it on protein.

The vegan caveat still applies twice over here. The patty shares a flame grill with beef, and the cheese is dairy, so this is a vegetarian item and nothing more than that.

Who it suits: vegetarians who want the full Whopper Cheese experience, and anyone who found the plain plant based version a touch sharp. It is the version most people settle on after trying both.

Pair it with Small Thick Cut Chips at $2.00, or look at the Veggie Whopper Cheese at $13.30 for the vegetable patty version.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's Plant Based Whopper Cheese at Home?

Same as the plant based Whopper with one change that matters: the cheese needs help melting. A plant patty gives off less heat than beef, so cover the pan for the last thirty seconds. Makes 2 servings.

Tips

  • Lid the pan for the melt. Waiting for a plant patty to melt cheese by itself means overcooking the patty.
  • Vegan cheese works but needs longer under the lid and a little water in the pan to steam.
  • Do not press the patty at any point. There is no fat to lose, only structure.

Variations

  • Leave the cheese off for a Plant Based Whopper.
  • Add angry onions and jalapenos for a Plant Based Angry Whopper.
  • Use a corn and capsicum patty for the Veggie Whopper Cheese.

Serve immediately with chips. Melted cheese sets fast on a plant patty because there is less residual heat holding it soft.

Hungry Jack's Plant Based Whopper Cheese Questions

$13.30, the same as the beef Whopper Cheese. There is no plant based surcharge on the Hungry Jack's menu.

2,630 kJ, against 2,317 kJ without cheese. Protein is 29.6g, fat is 47g and sodium is 1,306mg.

No. The cheese is dairy and the patty is flame grilled on the same equipment as the beef. This is a vegetarian item rather than a vegan one.

The cheese does two useful things: it binds the build, which a plant patty needs more than beef does, and it softens the harder seasoning plant patties carry. Most people who try both settle on this one.

2,630 kJ against 2,747 kJ, with 29.6g of protein against 32.7g. The sodium is higher in the plant version at 1,306mg against 1,162mg.
