Ingredients
For 2 servings
For the cheeseburger
2 brioche buns
400 g minced beef
4 slices of cheddar / processed cheese
1 tomato
1 red onion
2 portions of pickled cucumbers
a few leaves of Batavia lettuce
2 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tsp butter
2 tsp salt
Pinch of black pepper
Oil for frying
Preparation in 7 steps
Start by forming the ground beef into two equal-sized balls and then pressing them into thin burger patties using a burger press or your hands.
Prepare the hob or a gas grill for maximum direct and indirect heat and position the reversible plate in the direct heat area.
The tomato should be washed and thinly sliced. The lettuce leaves should be cleaned and shaken dry. The onion should be peeled and thinly sliced.
Place the patties on the grill or in the pan, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and cook the first side for about 3-4 minutes until an attractive crust forms.
Turn the patties over, place the cheddar on top and let it melt in the indirect heat zone with the lid closed for about 2 minutes until the patties are cooked to your desired degree.
The rolls should be cut in half and buttered on both sides. Then they should be toasted on a plate, cut side down.
Optionally, mayonnaise can be spread on the bottom half of the bun. Then, they can be topped with lettuce, patties, pickles, tomatoes, and onions. Finally, mayonnaise can be spread again on the top half of the bun and then placed on the burger.
