Ingredients
- 1 beef burger patty
- 1 brioche bun
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 leaf lettuce
- 1 slice tomato
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp honey mustard
Instructions
- 1Prepare the avocado
Carefully slice the ripe avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the two halves to separate them, then use your knife to gently remove the pit.
Tip: Choose an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the best creamy texture. - 2Slice the avocado
Peel the skin away from the avocado halves. Once peeled, place the avocado flat-side down and slice it into thin, uniform pieces.
Tip: Using a spoon can help you scoop the avocado out of the skin cleanly if it is very soft. - 3Toast the buns
Slice your burger bun in half. Place the cut sides onto a hot griddle or grilling surface and press down slightly to achieve an even, golden toast.
Tip: Toasting the buns prevents them from getting soggy when adding the juicy patty and avocado. - 4Sear the beef patty
Place your seasoned, hand-pressed beef patty onto the hot griddle. Press it down firmly with a spatula to ensure good contact and a nice crust.
Tip: Do not move the patty once it hits the griddle until it has developed a proper sear. - 5Cook the bacon
Lay strips of bacon onto the hot griddle alongside the beef patty. Cook until the bacon reaches your preferred level of crispiness.
Tip: The bacon fat will help flavor the griddle surface, adding extra savory notes to the burger. - 6Melt the cheese
Once the beef patty is cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheese on top. Allow it to melt until it drapes over the sides of the patty.
Tip: Covering the patty with a lid for a few seconds can help the cheese melt faster. - 7Prepare the buns
Take your toasted burger bun halves and spread a generous layer of honey mustard sauce and creamy mayonnaise on the cut sides. This base provides a tangy and smooth foundation that complements the savory ingredients to follow.
Tip: Toast your buns until golden brown before applying sauces to prevent them from becoming soggy. - 8Assemble the burger layers
Begin stacking your burger by placing fresh, crisp lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of juicy tomato. Carefully add the cooked beef patty topped with melted cheese, then finish this layer with a strip of crispy, cooked bacon.
Tip: Place the lettuce first to create a barrier that keeps the bun from absorbing too much juice from the tomato.
