Makes: 1
Takes: 5 mins
Ingredients:
250g beef mince
50g gherkins, sliced
½ gem lettuce
1 tbsp American mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp ketchup
1 burger bun, sliced
4 American-style cheese slices
Method:
Preheat the grill/broiler to high. Place a large frying pan over a high heat.
Form the beef mince into 2 very thin burger-shaped patties, and then place them into the large
frying pan, smashing them down as you go. Cook for 45 seconds and then flip the patties – repeat on the 2nd side until well browned all over.
Finely chop the gherkins and shred the lettuce.
Place the mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, gherkins, and lettuce into a medium mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
Toast the burger buns under the grill for 1 minute until golden brown.
Once the burger patties are coloured on both sides, season lightly with salt and pepper. Add 2 slices of cheese to each. Add 1 tbsp of water to the pan and cover with a lid to steam and melt the cheese for 20 seconds.
Layer the burger sauce and burger patties onto the burger bun base and top with the bun lid.
