Yield

Serves: 6

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Preheat a cast-iron griddle or grill pan to medium-high.

Combine meat with spices, garlic, crème fraiche or sour cream and parsley. Form 6 patties thinner at center and thicker at edges for even cooking. Drizzle patties or rub grill with oil and cook 10-12 minutes turning occasionally. Once almost cooked to desired doneness, melt cheddar on each burger.

Brush rolls with water then sprinkle with sea salt (possibly included in package), bake 3 minutes as per directions, remove from oven and split.

Serve burgers on rolls topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and brown mustard.
