  4. Place a mince ball in the pan and immediately smash it down firmly with a spatula until thin (about 1 cm thick).
  5. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges are crispy and browned.
  7. Flip the burger, add cheddar cheese and cook for another 1–2 minutes until cooked to your liking.
  8. Remove from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes.
  9. Toast the buns in the same pan with a little tallow for extra flavour.
