Now I know burger toppings are personal, and everyone has their preferences, but these steps are really a guide of how to layer condiments to create the best finished product - so let's get started!
1: As any experienced burger builder will know, it's important lay out all your condiments - that way you don’t get halfway through your burger and realize you forgot pickles!!
2: Take your bun (toasted is my preference) and lay down your base sauce, I usually go from ketchup here.
3: Add your lettuce by folding it in half and laying it on the ketchup. The fold makes sure you don't have too much of it spilling out of the but, and the ketchup acts as a glue to keep it in place.
4. Next you add your second sauce, which is mayo for me. This layer will act as the glue for the burger patty.
5. Place your burger patty on next, ideally with cheese already melted on top (I'm French, so of course I have two types of cheese 🤩).
6. Then you can add the rest of your 'dry' ingredients. For me thats bacon, tomato, onion, and of course - a pickle.
7. Lastly, if you like it saucy, this is where you can slather your top half of the bun with another sauce of choice. I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to my burgers, so I leave it as is, and secure with a skewer stick.
And there you have it - the perfect burger. If it doesn't resemble a small tower, you're doing it wrong 😉
