Special Burger Sauce - If making your own special burger sauce at home (recipe here) make this first and set aside.

Brioche Buns - toast your brioche buns until golden. This will prevent them from becoming soggy once you add the burgers and sauce. Plus it adds an extra crunch!

Begin preheating a large skillet on medium high heat.

Add all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and use clean hands to mix until well combined. Separate into 4 evenly slices portions. Pat down into disc shapes slightly bigger than your brioche buns (they will shrink as they cook.

Add a drizzle (about 1 tbsp) of olive oil on your hot frypan and place burger patties on. Don’t press down. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Turn over and add your cheese slices. Cook for a couple more minutes.

For extra juicy burgers - Add 2-3 tbsp of water in your frypan a couple minutes before they’re done and cover with a lid to help the steam melt the cheese and make the burgers juicy.

Rest burger patties for a couple minutes before assembling burgers. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting and the burgers are juicer if you wait!

Add some special sauce on the bottom half of your toasted brioche buns and spread around. Add the pickles, onion (tomato if using), then the lettuce, burger patty with melted cheese, more pickles and sauce before sandwiching with the top of the brioche buns.
