Ingredients
- 4 beef patties
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices yellow cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp black truffle pâté
- 1 ripe red tomato
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup crinkle-cut dill pickles
- 4 miniature paper cocktail umbrellas
Instructions
- 1Fry the beef patties
Place four raw beef patties into a hot frying pan on the stove and let them cook until nicely browned on the bottom.
Tip: Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the patties to get a good sear. - 2Toast the burger buns
Arrange burger bun halves on aluminum foil trays and place them inside the oven to toast until golden and crisp.
Tip: Keep a close eye on the buns while toasting to prevent them from burning. - 3Add cheese to the patties
Lay slices of yellow cheddar cheese directly over each cooked beef patty in the frying pan, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.
Tip: Cover the pan briefly with a lid if the cheese needs help melting evenly. - 4Place the patty on the bun
Carefully use a wooden spatula to transfer a hot, cheese-topped beef patty from the frying pan onto the prepared bottom bun.
Tip: Slide the spatula completely underneath the patty to keep it intact during transfer. - 5Add black truffle pâté
Take a spoonful of black truffle pâté and place a generous dollop directly onto the melted cheese layer of the burger.
Tip: A little truffle pâté goes a long way due to its rich and potent aroma. - 6Place the top bun
Carefully place the top burger bun directly onto the melted cheese and truffle layer to complete the assembly of the burger.
Tip: Press down gently so the top bun adheres securely to the toppings underneath. - 7Secure with a cocktail umbrella
Take a colorful miniature cocktail umbrella and push it vertically down through the center of the top bun, piercing through the layers to keep the burger stable and visually appealing.
Tip: Insert the pick straight down through the thickest part of the burger to ensure all layers stay intact when served.
