Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef 15% fat ( shaped into 12 mini patties )
• 150 g Cheddar cheese ( sliced )
• 12 piece Milk bread, artisanal ( halved )
• 2 piece Yellow onion ( sliced )
• 6 piece Sweet and sour gherkin ( sliced into rounds )
• 30 g Minimum butter sweet ( softened )
• 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground
• 4 tbsp Ketchup

Instructions

1. Garnish preparation

   Finely slice the onions. Cut the pickles into regular rounds. In a pan with oil, sweat the onions until translucent and lightly colored.

2. Searing the meat

   Form 12 small ground beef patties. Season with salt and pepper. Sear the patties over high heat in a very hot pan to get a brown, crispy crust. Set aside.

3. Toasting the bread

   Cut the milk bread rolls in half. Spread butter on the inside. Place them under the grill or in a pan until the crumb is golden and the butter is nutty.

4. Assembly and finishing

   On each bread base, spread a touch of ketchup. Place a beef patty, a slice of cheddar, onions, and pickles. Bake for 2 minutes in a hot oven until the cheese melts over the meat.

Chef's tips

• Do not press the meat during cooking to keep all the juices inside.
• Cheddar should be at room temperature to melt faster.

Storage

Consume immediately to keep the bread's texture. Do not freeze once assembled.
