Using your thumb, create an indent in the center of each patty.

Chill in fridge for 30 minutes. This makes perfect time to get your desired toppings ready!

Brush each patty with Olive Oil (to taste) , then generously season with Salt and Pepper (to taste) .

Once the grill is hot, place each burger on the grill and LEAVE THEM ALONE! After 3-4 minutes on the grill, flip over once.

Flip burger. After one minute on the opposite side, top with Cheese (4 slices) . Grill another 2-3 minutes for medium.

Allow to rest a few minutes before placing on the Hamburger Buns (4) . Assemble burgers with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
