Ingredients
Scale
For the Burgers
- 1 lb ground beef (for burger patties)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
For the Croissants
- 4 large, fresh, flaky croissants
- Butter, optional (for toasting croissants)
Additional Toppings and Condiments
- Condiments of your choice (mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc.)
- Optional toppings: onions, lettuce, pickles, or bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then form it evenly into four burger patties. Ensure the patties are uniform for even cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Toast the Croissants: Slice the croissants horizontally in half. Optionally, spread butter on the cut sides and toast them lightly in a pan over medium heat until golden and crispy.
- Melt the Cheese: In the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheddar or American cheese on top of each patty. Cover the pan to help the cheese melt thoroughly.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each cheesy patty on the bottom half of a toasted croissant. Add your preferred condiments and optional toppings such as onions, lettuce, pickles, or bacon. Top with the croissant halves and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using fresh, flaky croissants enhances the texture and flavor of the burger.
- Butter the croissants before toasting for added richness and crispiness, though this step is optional.
- Customize your toppings based on personal preference or dietary needs.
- Ensure patties are not too thick to allow even cooking and proper melting of cheese.
- Serve immediately to prevent the croissants from becoming soggy.
