Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the sweet egg-wash buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and the cheesy burger patty. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
