Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

1

Prepare the Burger Patties

In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

2

Cook the Patties

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

3

Griddle the Brioche Buns

In another pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down in the pan and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

4

Assemble the Burger

Place each cheeseburger patty on the bottom half of a toasted brioche bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
