Method

1. Slice the tomato⁴ into 0.8 cm rounds, the onion⁶ into thin rings, and the cornichons into chunks. Wash and dry the lettuce. Season the ground¹ beef with salt and pepper, then shape it into a flat patty slightly wider than the bun.

2. Heat a skillet over high heat. Cook the patty for 4 minutes per side until the juices run clear and no pink remains inside.

3. Place a slice of cheddar³ cheese on the patty, cover with a lid, and let melt for 1 minute.

4. Toast the cut sides of the bun in the skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

5. Mix mayonnaise with ketchup and spread it on both halves of the bun. Layer the bottom half with lettuce, the cheesy patty, tomato⁴, onion⁶, and cornichons, then top with the other bun half. Serve immediately.
