Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mince with the all-purpose seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands to distribute the spices. Divide the mixture into 8 portions: shape 4 into large, very flat patties and the other 4 into slightly smaller ones.

Place a portion of chopped cheese and pickles in the center of each large patty. Place a smaller patty directly on top, then carefully fold the edges of the larger base patty up and over the smaller one. Pinch the edges firmly with your fingers to create a tight seal, ensuring no cheese can leak out during cooking.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Toast the cut sides of the brioche buns for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then set aside. Pour in half of the vegetable oil. Once shimmering, fry two patties at a time for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently as they cook. The burgers should be cooked to medium with a deep brown crust and fully melted cheese inside. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.

Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes before serving; this allows the juices to settle and the molten cheese to cool slightly. Assemble the burgers on the toasted buns with sliced tomato, lettuce, ketchup, and mayo. Serve immediately with a side of hot French fries.
