Cook the Patties
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties, add a slice of cheese on top of each, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.
