Instructions

  1. Divide the meat into 4 balls, flatten them into patties about 2 cm thick and lightly press a dent in the centre with your thumb.
  2. Season with salt, pepper and paprika just before cooking.
  3. Heat a pan over high heat and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side for a pink centre.
  4. While cooking, toast the buns cut side down in the pan or in the oven.
  5. Place a slice of cheddar on each patty at the end of cooking and cover for 1 minute to let it melt.
  6. Spread mustard on the bottom buns and ketchup on the top ones.
  7. Assemble the burger: lettuce, tomato, cheesy patty, red onion, pickles, then close it up.

Variations and tips

Using what you can find. Cheddar can be replaced with comté or another tomme cheese, less melty but very good.
