Ingredients
  

For the Burgers
  • 1 lb lobster meat freshly cooked and chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef good quality for juicy patties
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • 4 count hamburger buns sturdy for holding burgers
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter for richness and toasting buns
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
Optional Toppings

  • tomato
  • mayonnaise

Equipment

  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
  3. Step 3: Place patties on the hot skillet and smash them down with a spatula to create a crust. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
  4. Step 4: Flip the patties and top each with cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt.
  5. Step 5: Toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan with 2 tablespoons of butter until golden brown.
  6. Step 6: In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter over low heat and stir in the lobster meat until warmed through.
  7. Step 7: Assemble the burgers: place a cheesy beef patty on each bun, topped with a spoonful of buttery lobster.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy!
