Steps
Prepare Patties
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste, then divide it into 4 equal portions. Form them into patties about 2 cm thick and slightly wider than the buns. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
Cook and Melt Cheese
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. In the last minute, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
Toast Buns
Halve the brioche buns and toast their cut sides in a little butter or a dry pan until golden brown and crispy. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble Burger
Spread both halves of the toasted buns generously with truffle mayonnaise. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then the cheesy patty, followed by slices of tomato, red onion, and pickles. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► Do not press the patties while cooking, as they will lose their juiciness!
► Toast the buns in butter or a dry pan for a crispier texture.
► Experiment with other toppings like caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for an even richer flavor.
