Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds - ground beef
6 slice - processed cheese
3 ¼ ounces - iceberg lettuce
30 slice - pickle
3 - homemade brioche burger buns

Instructions

Mix mayonnaise, mustard, pickle brine, diced pickle, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to intensify the flavor.
Divide the beef into 6 equal portions (90 g each).
Flatten into thin patties, slightly larger than the buns.
Cook in a hot skillet or grill pan for 2–3 minutes per side.
Place a cheese slice on top of each patty right before removing from the heat, so it melts perfectly.
Slice and lightly toast the buns (including the extra bottoms).
On the bottom bun, spread Big Mac sauce, add shredded lettuce, pickles, and the first patty with cheese.
Place the extra bottom bun (as the middle layer) on top.
Again spread sauce, add lettuce, pickles, and the second patty with cheese.
Finish with sauce and the top bun.
