Bun and Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembly of the Burger

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.

  2. 4

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, followed by a layer of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few pickle slices. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, then add ketchup and mustard to taste. Finally, cap with the top half of the bun.
