naise, for a subtle and unexpected flavor!

The preparation: the art of the perfect burger

  1. The homemade sauce: Mix mustard and mayonnaise in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of honey for the perfect balance. Taste and adjust according to your preferences. The key is to get a creamy sauce with that little kick typical of Dijon.
  2. Cooking the patties: In a hot skillet, heat a bit of olive oil. Season the patties with salt and pepper before cooking them to perfection: about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Meanwhile, toast the burger buns in the oven.
  3. Assembling: Once the bun is lightly toasted, spread your sauce generously on the bottom half of the bun. Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, the hot patty, and finally, the cheese that will melt with the heat of the patty. Finish with the slices of red onion and close it all up with the other half of the bun.

And there you have it, your burger is ready to enjoy!
