• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp mixed herbs
• 1 tsp salt

• Tomato slices
• Your favorite cheese slices

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Patty Mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, egg yolk, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, mixed herbs, salt, and cracked black pepper. (Why add egg yolks to burger patties?).
   • Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Form the Patties:
   • Shape the mixture into patties about 1 inch thick.
   • Cover the patties and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for even better results, leave them overnight.
3. Prep the Grill:
   • Lightly oil and season the burgers on both sides. (For tips on how to use olive oil to prep your grill, check out our article on prepping your grill with olive oil).
   • Preheat your grill to medium heat. Using a Monument Infrared Gas Grill can enhance your grilling experience, ensuring even cooking and perfect results. For more on this, see my guide to the Monument Infrared Gas Grill.
4. Grill the Patties:
   • Place the patties on the grill and cook for around 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   • With one minute to go, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to let it melt.
5. Rest the Burgers:
   • Once cooked to your liking, remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
6. Prepare the Buns and Veggies:
   • Lightly toast your burger buns.
   • Slice and season your tomatoes, and wash the lettuce.
7. Assemble the Burgers:
   • Generously smother mayonnaise on each bun (or use a sauce of your choice).
   • Layer with the burger patty, tomato slices, and lettuce.
