Step 2: Cook the Burger Patties
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a little bit of oil or non-stick spray.
- Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan to help the cheese melt, creating that pizza-like gooeyness.
Step 3: Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast your hamburger buns. You can do this in a separate skillet with a bit of butter for extra flavor, or you can simply toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until golden brown.
