Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form it into two equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and add a slice of white cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the desired doneness is achieved.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns in the same skillet or oven until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place a beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the brioche bun.
