Pickles Preparation
- 1
Make the House-Made Pickles
In a mixing bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and dill. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Burger Patties
Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions (approximately 2 ounces each). Form each portion into a loose ball without compressing it too tightly.

Cook the Burger Patties
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Season the balls of beef with salt and black pepper. Place 4 balls on the hot skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form thin patties. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and top each patty with a slice of American cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove and repeat with the remaining balls.

Toast the Brioche Buns
In a separate pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brioche buns, cut side down, and toast until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
