Cheeseburger

A classic homemade cheeseburger with a pan-seared beef patty, melted cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. A filling, high-protein meal.

Ingredients

• 280 g (4) hamburger buns
• 500 g ground beef (20% fat)
• 100 g (4 slices) cheddar cheese
• 40 g (4-8 leaves) romaine lettuce
• 100 g (1) tomato
• 40 g (½ small) onion
• 40 g pickled cucumbers
• 40 g (3 tbsp) ketchup
• 15 g (1 tbsp) mustard
• 40 g (3 tbsp) mayonnaise
• 2 g (1 tsp) black pepper
• 5 g (1 tsp) salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Divide the beef into 4 portions and shape into 1 cm thick patties slightly wider than the buns; press a shallow dent in the center with your thumb.

2. 2

   Thinly slice the tomato and onion into rings, slice the pickles, and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

3. 3

   Heat a cast-iron pan or grill over high heat. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper just before cooking.

4. 4

   Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side. In the last minute, lay a cheddar slice on each and cover the pan to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Split the buns and toast the cut sides in the same pan for 1 minute.

6. 6

   Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns and ketchup and mustard on the tops. Layer lettuce, tomato, the cheesy patty, onion and pickles, close and serve right away.
