Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 burger buns
- 2 beef patties
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 2 tbsp butter
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 3 tbsp avocado sauce
- 2 tbsp all-purpose burger sauce
Instructions
- 1Slice the avocado

Take a ripe avocado, cut it in half, remove the pit, and carefully slice the flesh into thin, even strips. This prepared avocado will be the star topping for the burger.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to ensure clean slices without bruising the delicate avocado flesh. - 2Toast the burger buns

Spread a layer of butter onto the cut sides of the burger buns. Place them on a preheated griddle at 120 degrees and toast until both sides are perfectly golden brown.
Tip: Watch the buns closely; they toast quickly on a hot griddle and can burn if left unattended. - 3Grill the beef patties

Place the beef patties onto a hot griddle set to 160-180 degrees. Allow them to sear, developing a nice crust on the underside before flipping.
Tip: Ensure the griddle is hot enough before adding the patties to get a proper sear. - 4Season and cook the patties

Once the patties are seared on one side, flip them over. Season generously with salt and black pepper and continue to cook for one minute on the other side.
Tip: Seasoning right before or during the flip helps lock in the moisture and flavor of the beef. - 5Melt the cheese

Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of cheese directly onto each hot beef patty. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese until it is smooth and gooey.
Tip: You can cover the patties briefly with a metal lid to help the cheese melt faster. - 6Top with avocado

Carefully arrange the prepared avocado slices on top of the melted cheese on the beef patties. The creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the savory beef and cheese.
Tip: Add the avocado right before assembly so it stays fresh and firm. - 7Assemble the vegetables and sauce

Begin assembling the burger by layering fresh lettuce, a slice of tomato, and pickles onto the toasted bottom bun. Simultaneously, spread the secret avocado sauce over the other toasted bun halves.
Tip: Toasting the buns thoroughly before adding vegetables and sauces creates a barrier that prevents the bread from becoming soggy. - 8Drizzle with sauce

Carefully drizzle the signature all-purpose burger sauce over the stacked avocado, cheese, and patty assembly. This adds a final layer of moisture and flavor to the burger.
Tip: Apply the sauce evenly across the avocado slices for a consistent taste in every bite.
