Cheese Burger with Garlic Infused Sea Salt
This cheese burger is a simple skillet burger with a savory Garlic Sea Salt seasoning, melted cheddar, brioche bun, mayonnaise, lettuce, pickles, and tomato. The patty is seasoned on both sides before cooking, then topped with cheddar for the final minute so the cheese melts into the hot beef. Garlic Sea Salt gives the burger a deeper savory flavor without needing a long spice blend, and it works well with classic toppings. Serve it for a quick dinner, burger night, cookout-style lunch, or with crispy potatoes, slaw, or panzanella salad.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp of oil
5 oz beef patty
Brioche bun
Mayonnaise
Lettuce
Pickles
Tomatoes
Cheddar slices

Why Garlic Sea Salt Works in This Burger
Garlic Sea Salt works in a burger because it seasons the patty while adding savory depth that pairs with cheddar, mayonnaise, pickles, tomato, and brioche. The garlic flavor is direct enough to matter but simple enough to keep the burger classic. Season both sides before cooking so the salt can help the patty brown and the garlic flavor carries through every bite.
Instructions:
Season the patty with Garlic Sea Salt and Black Pepper on both sides
In a hot pan, add some oil and cook the patty for 2 minutes on each side
For the last minute of cooking, add the cheddar slices on top - so they melt nicely
Toast the bun and assemble the burger
