Smash Burger
Two thin balls of ground beef pressed hard onto a screaming-hot griddle until a lacy, crusted edge forms, then stacked with melted American cheese on a toasted brioche bun. Finished with pickles, onion, and a tangy burger sauce of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.

Instructions
1
Prep
Loosely roll the beef into two balls without compacting, thinly slice the onion, and stir mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard into a uniform sauce.
2
Toast
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cut sides of the brioche bun 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
3
Sear
Add the oil to a heavy skillet over high heat and, once smoking, smash both beef balls flat for 2 minutes until a deep lacy crust forms.
4
Melt
Flip both patties, stack them, lay the American cheese on top and cook over high heat 1 minute more until the cheese slumps and the second side browns.
5
Plate
Spread sauce on both bun halves, layer onion, pickles, and the cheesy double patty on the base, cap, and serve immediately.
